Twin benefits of individual feedback are that the feedback can be specific to the student's particular learning needs and that the feedback is private. Giving feedback based on the particular qualities of a student's work means the information itself will be of maximum usefulness. Giving the feedback in private means that the student will not have to worry about what peers' reactions may be. Therefore, you help the student avoid some of the ego protection and face-saving that can get in the way of feedback.
