Giving information or feedback can be used as a way of giving help. It can be a learning mechanism for people who want insights into how well their behavior matches their intentions as perceived by the participants or audience.

Main ideas of giving feedback:

-Feedback describes behavior rather than evaluates behavior.
-Effective feedback expresses consideration toward the receiver.
-Feedback should be tentative and focus on behavior that the receiver can modify.

When giving feedback, there are some basic principles to keep in mind like:

-Give feedback only when asked to do so.
-Use ‘I’ and give your experience of the behaviour.
-Focus on behaviours that can be changed, not personality traits.
-When giving negative feedback, suggest alternative behaviours.
-Feedback is for the recipient, not the giver – be sensitive to the impact of your message.

By using the model shown above about how to give a constructive criticism sandwich, you'll be giving at the same time a critical but constructive feedback. This is very important for the person who's hearing the feedback because he will most likely hear what you have to say whereas if you were doing a bad feedback, he would probably ignore it. Being a competent feedbacker is very important.
