Past Student Submission Examples
Why submit student work for real-world feedback?
Students find professional feedback meaningful, motivating, and validating. But don’t take it from us.
Hear directly from students about their experiences receiving real-world feedback from professionals.
This is the type of feedback and experience I want for my students but have little bandwidth to coordinate myself. It makes a big difference."
