I am an instructor at a technical college, and I never really thought of my feedback to students in the same vein as feedback from my employer at work. We all know how important feedback every week is to our students, and we should give praise as well as areas needing improvement - but I think most supervisors fail to give timely feedback. It always seemed awkward to me to get an "annual evaluation" and things would come up that never were mentioned in the previous year. So I think we can apply our excellent feedback skills from the classroom that we give our students, to those who work for us - timely, relevant, helpful feedback is necessary!!
