Depending on situations, feedback in a university scenario, students want feedback as it lets them know “where they are at” formal-written is the best form here.

The who?what? where?and why?is an easy method to follow

DAWA especially if you feel hard done by, getting feedback from an interview where one is not successful is an example, after accepting the decision then it’s onwards to another goal. -

Depends on who the person is, who is giving the feedback, a genuine person who is doing it for the right reason, to help you not a problem, giving feedback is about “ it’s not what you say, but how you say it”

If you can backup your statement with facts that come from research that shows a good form of critical thinking

My view is critical thinking is “from my experience do I agree or disagree with what is written/spoken and to back up my opinion.

Very good points made and great to be able to voice an opinion
-
Thomas O'Connor made a comment
The university has a methodology of teaching and learning and in a group situation it’s expected that participants will contribute this is a powerful learning tool peer learning, so my angle is participants need to be aware of this, but in face to face learning it is easier to implement hope I am not out of order
