# How to read and act on your feedback

> A guide to understanding your Claire feedback report and using it to improve your future work.

When your instructor publishes your grades, you will receive a comprehensive feedback report. Claire helps organize your instructor's notes into a clear, actionable document. Here is how to interpret your feedback report and use it to improve your academic performance.

## Turning feedback into action

Feedback is only useful if you act on it. Here is a strategy for applying the feedback you receive:

### 1. Identify patterns

Look for themes across different assignments. If you consistently lose points on "Clarity and Organization," that is a core skill you should focus on improving. The rubric breakdown makes it easy to spot these recurring trends over the semester.

### 2. Review the inline remarks in context

Do not just read the summary. Click on the inline remarks to see exactly where you made a mistake or where your argument was particularly strong. Understanding the context of the feedback is crucial for avoiding the same error in the future.

### 3. Use the suggested resources

The resources provided at the bottom of your report are tailored to your specific gaps in knowledge. Spend 15-20 minutes reviewing them while the assignment is still fresh in your mind.

### 4. Create a checklist for your next assignment

Before you start your next assessment, review your most recent feedback report. Write down 2-3 specific things you need to do differently based on your instructor's notes. Use this as a personal checklist before you submit your next piece of work.
