Question 1

During a CT exam scenario, a trainer gives feedback that focuses only on what went wrong. What critical element is missing?

Informal feedback occurs spontaneously in the moment, such as brief verbal comments during activities, without formal structure or documentation.

Question 3

A CT candidate must understand that feedback calibration refers to:

Accepted Answer

Ensuring multiple raters apply the same standards consistently

Calibration ensures inter-rater reliability so that different trainers or evaluators apply feedback criteria consistently across learners.

Question 4

What is the primary risk of giving feedback that is too vague, such as 'good job' or 'needs improvement'?

Accepted Answer

Learners cannot identify specific behaviors to repeat or change

Answer

Vague feedback fails to identify which behaviors should be reinforced or changed, leaving learners without clear direction for improvement.

Question 5

In which situation is written feedback preferable to verbal feedback?

Accepted Answer

When a detailed record is needed and the learner needs time to process the information

Answer

Written feedback is preferable when documentation is required or when the learner benefits from reviewing detailed comments at their own pace.
