talking to them in person 更高效 + 比如上个学期我们媒体学的教授给每个人都论文反馈就是通过15分钟面谈给到的，在这15分钟里，我可以自由提问，把之前我跟论文相关的问题一次性问了老师，并且及时跟了我进一步的建议，效率非常高。如果要是书面反馈的话，可能一来一回时间就要花费很多，而且没有这么及时高效。


I believe face-to-face feedback is more efficient because it allows for instant clarification and deeper discussion. For example, last semester, my Media Studies professor gave personalized feedback during 15-minute meetings. In those sessions, I could freely ask all my questions about the paper and receive immediate follow-up suggestions. This saved time compared to written feedback, which often requires back-and-forth emails and delays. Ultimately, not only did my paper improve significantly, but I also learned valuable writing techniques through these interactive sessions.
If I had relied on written comments, resolving every doubt would have taken much longer.



through written comments 更高效 + 比如上个学期我们艺术历史学的教授给论文的反馈就是通过邮件的形式，这些批改都非常凝练，几乎Cover了所有我需要提升和注意点地方，我只需要根据这个评论修改我的论文就足够，效率非常高。如果准备和教授见面，和需要花费额外的时间去准备，没有这种书面评论的方式高效。

I think written feedback is more efficient since it provides concise, actionable comments without scheduling hassles. For instance, my Art History professor last semester emailed detailed corrections / covering all areas needing improvement. With these notes, I could revise my paper directly without extra preparation or meeting time. Thanks to this method, my paper improved dramatically, and I mastered key academic writing skills.
In contrast, arranging in-person meetings would require coordinating schedules and preparing questions in advance—far less efficient than a well-structured written review.
