Abstract
What if we, as tutors, stopped giving our students positive feedback but instead concentrated on the aspects of the task at hand? What if we stopped feeding them on carbs of positive energy and opted for the slow-release of feedback that does not make any judgement at all (positive or negative)? In this lightning talk I am going to make the case for, and hopefully gain your interest in, redesigning feedback practices in light of Philippa Perry’s suggestion to ‘praise effort, describe what you see and feel and encourage your [student] without judging’ to enhance learning and improve mental health.
