We asked students
what they liked about last summer’s workshop, and
79% cited high quality feedback:
"I like how their feedback was honest"
“the coaches gave good advice”
“my coaches were able to explain what they want us to improve on and giving good feedback on our redos and overall being encouraging and supportive”
“my teacher gave us detailed feedback after each speech, which was great.”
“my coach gave me a whole new view on how I can attack claims during cross examination and poke holes through an argument”
“the feedback was really specific and it definitely helped me a lot”
