“If we read their thoughts with a sense of interest, we will find some areas where he or she has done well, and we will find some areas where he or she can improve. So, we can give directive comments—not in the sense of giving instruction, but in the sense of developmental feedback. During my research, I analysed comments provided by supervisors. In numerous instances, these comments identify what’s wrong with the student’s writing. But they fail to suggest avenues for improvement—what can the student do?”
