Instructors provide responses, comments and
advice on assignments that have been
submitted to help you improve and understand
your score. It is important for you to seek that
feedback and read those reactions so that you
do not repeat errors and can follow the
recommendations that may not be found
elsewhere. Feedback and comments provide a
wealth of information, but you need to access
it to make the most of it.
