·I value positive and encouraging comments. Learning can be quite demanding and I need to be told I am making progress. Interaction with peers can alternately produce the feeling that I am holding my own or that many of them are operating at a higher level.
·Asking questions is clearly appropriate, though it can be overdone, unless there is an opportunity to follow up the questions. On another course I found the questions quite frustrating – I would have welcomed just a bit more of a steer from the tutor
·…..so I believe that the tutor should provide answers and suggestions, not in a didactic way but as possible answers
·If ‘negative’ means pointing out areas where I am on the wrong track or where I need clear guidance, then I think such comments are fine
I am not sure what the questions about more positive comments and more questions are getting at so I think my answer has to be that for me there is no difference between the two.

I certainly read and re-read the comments.
