Non-Descriptive feedback is written or oral communication that provides meaningful information but does not
contain detailed analysis and description of the feedback. For example,
• A Teacher explaining the number of mistakes done by a student in his paper but not giving any suggestion and
detailed analysis of the mistakes, “Questions 3 and 4 are not written properly. Please write more.”
• An Employer giving a verbal feedback of the project report submitted to his subordinates but no detailed
description. “The report needs more focus on the marketing areas and data analysis charts.”
Specific and Non-Specific Feedback
Specific feedback focuses on the specific points of utmost importance and should be conveyed to the sender.
Following are the specific feedback given by a teacher to her students:
• “The article you submitted for the school magazine is very well written and I like the way you portrayed the
image of a girl child facing social injustice.”
• “You have not done well this time in questions related to Profit and Loss in maths.”
Non-specific feedback is a general feedback that does not focus on any specific point. For example,
• “The article you submitted for the school magazine is good.”
• “You have not done well this time in exam.”
Positive and Negative Feedback
Positive feedback focuses on the sender's strengths, achievements or successes. It also takes care of the areas of
improvement and creates a positive attitude for the sender. For example,
• “Nice work done by you.”
• “You were really good on stage but if you work more on your voice modulation, then you can do wonders.”
Negative feedback it highlights the weaknesses and problems of the information that the sender has conveyed to
the receiver. It should be genuine or true to bring a positive change in the process of communication. For example,
• “You did not submit your assignment.”
• “You wrote your answers very badly.”
