Before Contacting the Teacher

1. Check the rubric- Think about what you need feedback on (e.g., a specific assignment, a skill you’re trying to improve). 

• Gather your thoughts: Consider your strengths and weaknesses related to the topic, and how you can improve. 

How to Ask

1. In-Person: Ask after class, then schedule a longer meeting if you need more time. 
2. By Email:

Use a clear subject line: Something like “Feedback Request- [Your Name] – [Course Name]”. 

Be polite: Start with a greeting, such as “Good morning, Teacher’s name,”. 

Introduce yourself: State your name and the class you’re in. 

State your purpose: Be direct and say you want to discuss your progress or a specific assignment. 

Provide context: Explain what you’ve been working on and what you’re struggling with. 

Be specific about what you need: Ask for feedback on your assignment, structure, 

or another concrete aspect of your work. 

Suggest a meeting: If you need a longer discussion, ask if they have time for a meeting. 

Thank them: Express your gratitude for their time and effort.
