Understanding Instructor Feedback

Wilmington University instructors offer feedback on student submissions in a wide variety of ways. It is important to read this feedback in order to understand the strengths and weaknesses of your submissions. Responding to the feedback creates a conversation between you and your instructor that can enhance your engagement and experience in the course.
