It is important for trainees to know how well they are doing as they learn. This is because the knowledge that they are doing well gives trainees a sense of achievement which motivates them to learn more. Similarly, it is also important to let trainees know when they have made a mistake so that they will learn from it and take corrective measures.

Feedback can be given to individual trainee, to a group of them, or to the whole class. It would be more efficient if the whole class can share in the monitoring process and the feedback.
