Teaching students how to give, receive feedback: Opinion

As part of The Conversation’s Uncommon Courses series, Patrick Barry (University of Michigan) describes a course that he designed on the topic of feedback. The course provides students who are pursuing a wide range of careers with the skills they need to provide and receive high-quality feedback. The course—which Barry also adapted into a downloadable book—covers several feedback frameworks, how to solicit and deliver feedback, and how to interpret feedback. In his concluding comments, Barry explains that students who complete the course are prepared to be better editors, listeners, and leaders who understand the process of improvement.
