C. Learning in an eLearning Course

1. How will I use feedback in a positive way to improve on my learning?
I will take the feedback and apply it to my future work. I will also write it down to remember. I will
see it as an opportunity to learn, rather than a negative thing.
2. How will reading the feedback notes from the teacher help me more than just looking at the
mark?
Looking at the feedback will give me direction on how I can improve. It will also help me in specific areas rather
than an overall grade. I will know where to focus more energy for improvement.
