Students' responses to lecturers' feedback: Problems and suggestions.It is believed that lecturers' feedback on students' assignments can help students in their learning process. Nevertheless, there seems to be a tendency for students to ignore the feedback given by their lecturer, which results in the repetition of mistakes in their next assignments.
