As an experience administrator, you will be able to see and customize the feedback that employers provide to learners at the end of any given project as well as see the feedback learners provide to the employers.
Customizing the feedback process is ideal when you want to elicit very specific answers from employers about your learners such as skills they've developed, soft skills they've demonstrated, or overall quality of their work submission.
Main benefits of feedback:
Gives you more oversight into the outcomes of your learners.
Ensure that the feedback provided aligns closely with the specific learning objectives of your experience.
Provides learners with richer insights into their performance and areas for improvement.

A rating out of 5 stars for the specific skills of (optional):
Communication
Creativity
Professionalism
Critical thinking
Employability
This feedback configuration cannot be changed.
Custom feedback
As an experience administrator, you will be able to add custom questions that must be answered by employers while they fill in their standard feedback. Any questions you add here will be in addition to the standard feedback questions, not in lieu of. You may add an unlimited number of fully configurable questions including multiple choice, short and long answer, document, date, true or false, and more.
Custom feedback is great if you are looking for specific feedback on a particular skill or some quality metric of the team's work.

Best practices
Always lean on the side of caution and make custom questions required unless you really don't care about the reply rate.
Ensure that the feedback questions are relevant to the specific tasks, projects, or skills being assessed.
Include questions that address both strengths and areas for improvement to provide a well-rounded evaluation of the learners' performance.
