Feedbacks to lesson submissions are normally limited to students who have signed up for Mentor guidance. However, WVU expects Mentors to read all postings to determine if clarification is needed. Quite often we also make announcements or offer hints and writing tips. This certainly applies to Mentors since we constantly learn from the students postings. I prefer to look on knowledge as an open-ended database in which Mentors and students learn from each other.
Communications are a delicate exercise.
The balance of what is said is made up of the tones and inflections of our voices, gestures, expressions, and body language. Consequently, all that is left are the written words. The good news is that messages make it very easy to communicate true feelings. Every word typed must be chosen with care, and designed with positive impact in mind. In spite of our best efforts to produce clear, inspiring messages, there will be times when messages cannot be communicated effectively using only words.
