Introduction

Knowing that an answer is wrong is useful, but it may not tell you how to improve it. Feedback becomes more useful when it helps identify the gap between what you did and what the task required.
Feedback is information about a response, process, or result that can guide a later action. It may come from an explanation, a worked solution, a teacher, a tool, or the observable result of the activity.
Receiving feedback and using it are different steps. This lesson explains how to turn a result into a specific change, while recognizing that feedback itself can be incomplete or mistaken.
