Arts, Jorik Gerardus; Jaspers, Mieke; Joosten-ten Brinke, Desiree – European Journal of Teacher Education, 2016
In Higher Education, much of a lecturer's time is spent on supplying students with written comments as a form of feedback on assignments. Although it is clear that students use these comments to make adjustments to their assignments, it is doubtful that these comments create a learning effect. This may indicate that the way feedback is supplied…

One component that can contribute to such generativity is Precision Teaching (PT), a frequency building instructional…
