Did You Know? Feedback Should Be Specific, Not Just “You’ll Get It”

Vague feedback like “you’ll get it” or “it was fine” does not help you improve. Specific feedback identifies what you did well, what needs work and how to adjust.

Vague feedback like “you’ll get it” or “it was fine” does not help you improve. Specific feedback identifies what you did well, what needs work and how to adjust. Examples: “Your mirror checks were good, but you signalled too late at that intersection,” or “Your clutch control is improving; next time focus on earlier observation before moving off.” If your instructor cannot give specific feedback, you may not be progressing efficiently. Ask for concrete points to work on after each lesson.
