# Practice exercise feedback survey

Find whether exercises support the intended task.

If nothing was unclear or difficult, say so. Skip questions about steps you did not experience; use not applicable where appropriate.

## 1. Which instruction was difficult to apply?

Answer: ____________________

## 2. What example helped you begin?

Answer: ____________________

## 3. What practice variation would help?

Answer: ____________________

## Author notes / illustrative keys where applicable

1. Use this answer to locate the part of the experience that needs explanation. The example issue to investigate is: learners cannot connect the exercise to a real task.
2. A useful starting example reveals the bridge learners needed between instructions and performing an exercise. Provide a verified illustration with appropriate boundaries; copying the example does not demonstrate independent task competence.
3. Identify a different input, setting or level of support the learner needs to try the target task again. Choose a bounded exercise variation rather than assume another explanation alone supplies practice.

Interpretation caution: Exercise enjoyment does not demonstrate learning.


## Illustrative finding and follow-up

Observation: Learners cannot connect the exercise to a real task.

Action to test: Add a realistic worked example.

Follow-up: After trying the change, repeat “Which instruction was difficult to apply?” with people who experienced it. Check whether they still describe the original issue: learners cannot connect the exercise to a real task. Compare explanations and sample context, rather than claiming the change caused an improvement.
