Library Subject Guides
Welcome to our guide designed to help you navigate the world of academic feedback. Whether it’s pointing out areas that need more depth, suggesting enhancements in your argument structure, or guiding you towards clearer and more effective communication, feedback is the compass that guides your learning.
However, interpreting feedback can sometimes be challenging. In this guide, you can explore the types of feedback you might encounter, what they mean, and how you can improve on them and use them to your advantage .
