What kind of feedback do DECA members typically receive after competitions?

DECA members typically receive narrative feedback on their performance after competitions along with suggestions for improvement. This type of feedback is crucial as it provides a comprehensive analysis of the competitor's strengths and weaknesses. By focusing on specific performance aspects—such as presentation skills, content relevance, and strategic thinking—the feedback helps members understand what they did well and what areas they can work on for future competitions. This constructive feedback encourages continuous growth and development, aligning with DECA's mission of preparing future leaders in marketing, finance, hospitality, and management.

The value of this detailed feedback lies in its ability to guide members towards enhancing their skills, rather than just focusing on scores or providing vague assessments, which does not foster the same level of improvement or insight.
