Comments given to or received from others that writers can use in revising their writing.
A teacher may provide feedback, but students might also provide feedback in peer-to-peer sessions. The writer should ask for the type of feedback they want from readers and should take control of the process.
See the WAC handout, Ways to Approach Feedback to Student Writing, for in-class peer feedback exercises.
See the WAC handout, How to View Feedback as an Instructor, for some theoretical approaches to evaluating student work.
