"Tanaka (1998) said that constructive feedback is very important for students. Brown (2003) found that students reached their learning goals more quickly when teachers gave more feedback. Smith and Jones (2006) did a case study on a student and found that she felt happy when she got more feedback so it is good for wellbeing as well. Many authors agree that feedback is essential for effective learning, which has some important consequences for the teaching profession."
