When I am given a draft, whether by a colleague or a student, I try to remember to ask, "what kind of feedback are you looking for?" or "tell me how I can be most helpful to you here?" this might be harder to say to ones advisor...but, in general, life is so much less exhausting when I am not attempting to read people's minds (a bad habit of mine, to be sure)...
