This article on feedback was quite insightful and an interesting read. The use of examples of different assessment types and their relative merit showed clearly the importance of keeping communication open and honest with children during the entire teacher and student relationship. I was particularly struck by the episode you had in college with the question about a re'sume.'  I remember similar feelings of bias and lack of openness to my ideas during class in a Money and Banking class I took. As a result, I did not do as well as I hoped I would because I felt intimidated to ask basic questions. I also found the questions challenging and effectively brought home many of the points made in the article. Ed Farinholt (efari002) (talk) 04:05, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
