                FEEDBACK

        A communication cycle is incomplete and irrelevant without feedback. Feedback is a response of the receiver with
        respect to the message received from the sender. It works as an indicator for the successful transmission of the
        message thus making communication a two-way process. If there is no feedback, communication will be incomplete
        and ineffective. Feedback is not only giving answers in the class but also sharing new ideas related to the concept.
        Feedback is important in every communication because:

        •  it completes the whole process of communication where the sender sends the information and the feedback is the
          response of the receiver.
        •  it helps in evaluating the effectiveness of communication. Sender gets a clear picture through the feedback that the
          information intended to be understood by the receiver is a success or a failure.
        •  it is an important step that helps in the collection of information from the receiver.
        •  it helps the sender to make correct decisions based on the information gathered from the feedback received. Thus,
          an appropriate feedback will improve the process of communication.
        •  it builds a healthy environment at a workplace.

          they can decide their next course of action.
        •  it gives way to new ideas to improve the process of communication.
