Working in Partnership to Enhance Feedback Value of good feedback Feedback is a fundamental part of the learning process. Good feedback can: foster greater levels of self-esteem and motivation which in turn can result in greater progress. enable students to reflect and develop as well as promote their learning journey and encourage greater achievement. enable tutors to realign their teaching content and teaching methods in response to learners needs. encourage a greater and more effective dialogue between teachers and students.

In 2007, one institutions rating was as low as 36%. Feedback satisfaction varied depending on a students ethnicity or disability.
