Feedback

The type of feedback I'm used to is usually feedback that is really generic. The person giving the feedback usually asks way to broad of questions and really don't give that good of feedback. My last English teacher gave the worst feedback ever. She would ask questions like, "So what does that mean" after i just explained what it meant in my paper. She was just very confusing and plus i couldn't even read her handwriting sometimes. So in the end my paper never got better because i had no clue what she was asking. That's how a lot of my feedback was.

The type of feedback I want is very simple. I would like it if the person has a question to evaluate on the question. Tell me what you mean or give me an example of what you mean. Also i like feedback that is clear and straight to the point. Just tell me what I'm doing wrong and give an example of how I can do better. The key thing for me is examples. Some people speak in different ways so by giving an example of what you mean you can be sure the person you are giving feedback to will understand.
