Review of: "Does Teacher Feedback Potentiate a Positive Feedback Loop That Underlies the “Achievement Gap”? The Role of Race and Gender in the Interrelations Between Self-Perceptions, Teacher Feedback, and Academic Performance at West Point"

This study is an interesting article on longitudinal interactions between supervisor judgements, selfbeliefs, and GPA.It considers race and gender stereotypes in a US-based predominantly White settingthe military.Generally, it offers important insights into teacher feedback and long-term effects on students' outcomes and careers.A short explanation for the overall rating: It is a solid article that meets most standards I would expect.However, there are still some details that warrant attention.Most importantly, I miss a clearly formulated research aim with hypotheses.The information is somewhat implicitly mentioned at different points in the manuscript, but I strongly suggest including those explicitly in the present study section.Additionally, as the article is US-centred, it should be mentioned.Some background information on the US military might be common knowledge in the US, but not in other parts of the world.Below, I provide more detailed comments and questions for each section.++Title++ When reading your items for instructor ratings, I wondered whether the term Feedback in your title is adequate.I would have expected written or verbal detailed feedback and not two ratings on a scale.Consider changing the title to not promise more than can be expected from the article.Additionally, "West Point" is a non-explained term in the text.As a non-US researcher, I have no clue what this could Qeios qeios.
