About the Feedback Loops: How to Give & Receive High-Quality Feedback Specialization

Feedback plays a key role in the development of students and professionals of all kinds. Yet few people are taught how to give effective feedback or how to receive it.

This Feedback Loops specialization is designed to change that. Based on a popular class at the University of Michigan Law School that people have called “extremely useful,” “super engaging,” and “the highlight of my week,” it is full of evidence-based tips and techniques you can use to improve your feedback skills in a wide-range of situations: in school, at work, on athletic teams, inside musical groups, and certainly when interacting with your friends and family. It also provides a number of “Feedback Labs” in which you can practice applying—in a safe, low-stakes way—the many concepts you’ll be learning.

Frequently Asked Questions

When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?
Access to lectures and assignments depends on your type of enrollment. If you take a course in audit mode, you will be able to see most course materials for free. To access graded assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience, during or after your audit. If you don't see the audit option:
The course may not offer an audit option. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid.
The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
