Encouraging learner participation helps increase the class's success rate. When done in a timely fashion, it helps the instructor identify issues learners may be having that can be clarified before the end of the course, ultimately improving the likelihood of a better grade. Feedback and participation are symbiotic. Giving timely constructive feedback to participation fosters learners' confidence, lets them know they are heard, and encourages additional participation.
