Why is feedback weak if a student writes only “Very good”?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: It gives no specific reason or suggestion for improvement
Useful feedback should be specific enough to tell the learner what was done well and what could be improved. “Very good” gives general praise but no evidence, explanation, or next step, so its instructional value is limited. Praise itself is not wrong; it becomes stronger when linked to a particular strength and, where appropriate, a practical suggestion.
