Both giving and receiving feedback has a positive impact on learning. Throughout this course, you will be required to review the work of others and provide feedback on their essays. The 2+2 feedback method will help focus your review of the essays you read and provide substantive and meaningful feedback to your peers. This method is, in fact, very simple. Provide 2 positive comments and 2 suggestions or questions for further inquiry. Your comments should be more than simply, "Great Work!" or "I totally agree!" and should include examples from the essay that support your statement. Here's an example of a well-formed 2+2 response.

I found your essay to be very well written. You provided a detailed description of the coaching sessions that provided a clear picture of your interaction with the coachee. It seemed that you were able to help them craft a personal learning agenda that was both meaningful and attainable. One thing I noticed was that there was no mention of joining a professional organization. Aligning with such an organization could provide your coachee the opportunity to increase their professional network, making a future job search easier, and also gives them access to resources that could be valuable when trying to solve a problem in their current position. In the future, do you think that having your coachee complete the exercises from the Ideal Self Booklet provided in this course would help better prepare them for your first session?
