@mrscienceteach I'm not clear what you mean by feedback: offering it to others? receiving it? both? particular contexts? heteodyning waveforms?

@davey Thanks for asking davey. Clearly I need to be more specific in my introduction. I mean teaching students to monitor their own learning and become more independent than they can when they rely on adults to always grade them.

@mrscienceteach I love it. I'm guessing you mean fact-checking, looking for alternate hypotheses, attempts to falsify, to look for confounds. someone who learns that is really making the grade, to make a painful pun but a sincere statement.

As a science/tech/standards writer, I felt a lot of responsibility to fact-check, to confirm my understanding. My editors helped me convey the ideas clearly--and when they screwed up I published corrections. When a reader said "You're wrong"; that was gold!
