    The document provides feedback from a Coursera beta-tester on areas for improving the quality and effectiveness of feedback provided in a Coursera course. Specifically, the beta-tester notes that some quiz feedback just said to rewatch videos without specifics, feedback should reinforce learning, audio quality needs improving in demo videos, and workbooks were sometimes pre-filled or out of sync with lectures. The beta-tester also provides examples of good versus poor feedback timing, tone, amount and actionability.

    COURSERA BETA-TESTER

    Feed-forward feedback
    Sometimes the feedback in quizzes for correct answers was “Watch videos again”. This did not help
    as I was not sure what to watch for specifically. Sometimes, there was informative feedback on the
    quizzes explaining why a given answer was right or wrong. Other times the feedback was just
    “correct” or “incorrect” with instructions to re-watch the videos. It would be great if all the quizzes
    could have the feedback that reinforces the learnings. Overall, I thought that the course covered the
    material well – although it seemed like a lot of grammar was covered each week.

    Actionable feedback
    I would improve the quality of the audio at the very least for the demo videos. The downloaded Excel
    workbooks need to match and be consistent with the videos. The sequencing on some of the
    workbooks were not matching the lectures. Some of the workbooks were already filled out. Students
    didn't need to do anything for the student do part of the workbooks. I would leave those sections
    blank so students can follow along in the video and complete the workbooks. More practical!

    Feedback tone
    I think the professor could try to explain some things more intuitively. I knew the topic before but for
    a novice they could benefit from it. Also like in this case perhaps second time in my Coursera history I
    found the professor presenting style little bit disturbing. I mean she was kind of yelling while
    explaining.
