In one study, online feedback was provided to students’ technicalwriting material and the opportunity for corrections was given. Although the online tool used toprovide feedback had a variety of features to communicate different comments or suggestions onstudent work, the results of the research study showed that students utilized the in-line instructorcomments significantly more than the other tools that were available, primarily for the speed andease of access [11].

At first he was confused about how a reflection would differ from aconclusion, but as the experiment progressed, he began to see that there were things that he did(or didn’t do) that were valuable learning activities but might not be detailed in a strict scientificreport.

In extreme cases, theydo not know if the solution (obtained through all these numerical and computational steps) iscorrect, because they follow the prescribed steps mechanically without intuition or insight.
