Helpful Feedback

The type of feedback I am used to is feedback on papers and whether or not if it is a good paper and pushes across the correct message to the reader and the get what I am talking about. Now in the classroom setting feedback is never as good as it should be, because people are usually afraid to criticise other peoples papers to their faces. So you may not get the important feedback that you are looking for from your fellow classmates. Feedback should not be looked at as a bad thing, even though it could possibly come across as harsh, you will only benefit from it in the end.

I would like clear, honest feedback on my papers no matter how good or bad the paper can be. If it works out that way you will be able to refine your paper that much better because you will know the problems that other readers come across in your paper and be able to fix these issues.

This would look like someone noting paragraph structure, word choice, topics covered and where your paper ultimately leads the reader. It could be in the form of notes taken on the paper, to show that you really did read the persons work. So you could give them back to the writer so he/she has plenty to work from when revising.
