Introduction

Welcome to Module 13! In this module you will learn about effective feedback, specifically what it is and how to give it.

Effective feedback is commonly known as constructive criticism. Everyone benefits from effective feedback because that is how we develop and improve different skills, whether it is a professional skill, a soft skill, or a technology skill.

Something to keep in mind as you go throughout your life is that you never want to stop growing and learning, and you do not want others to stop either. Learning to receive effective feedback and to give effective feedback can make this process of learning easier!
