Feedback Strategies Week 3

 

    The feedback gallery was way more useful than I honestly expected it was going to be, as it lays out some clear examples on how to successfully give feedback. I have always been assigned assignments in which I had to give feedback to other students, but before this course, I had never been taught just how to give feedback. Suggesting ways to expand the story as well as asking questions about the content of the story seem like really good strategies to me, because they really get the writer to think about their writing more in-depth.

Feedback: It's how we improve upon ourselves!


How to Give Bad Feedback Without Being a Jerk

    Like the feedback gallery, this article gives a lot of good methods for feedback, especially when that feedback is more on the negative side. Explaining your viewpoint and how you yourself have benefitted from feedback is something that I think would be really helpful to me if someone were giving me feedback. The compliment sandwich, as the article also mentions, has always been one of my least favorite feedback techniques, as the praise usually feels like it's there to compensate for the negative feedback, which the article also says.

Be a Mirror

    This article seems to be more targeted at feedback for children, but it is obviously still applicable for adults. Giving purely negative feedback can be detrimental, but pointing out what was done well along with what could be improved is a reliable strategy. The mirror reflects back on what you did right, and if you know you did a good deal right, then you'll be more open to knowing the few things you did wrong.

Introduction to Me, A Socially Anxious Future Doctor

      Hello everyone! My name is Lanney, and I am a Senior here at OU, double majoring in Biology and Letters, along with following a pre-med track. When I first started here at OU, I was only a declared Biology/Pre-Med major, but last year, I had a Latin professor who talked to me about the possibility of also majoring in Letters. Ultimately, I think I decided to earn a degree in Letters because of my professor and also the content within the major, which is a little bit of everything, from philosophy to literature. Hopefully, I will attend OU medical school once I finish my undergraduate career, looking to become a pediatrician, possibly specializing in oncology. My career choice seems quite specific to a lot of people, and that is because it is. Many individuals who go into medical school have yet to decide on the specialty they wish to pursue, preferring to experience clinicals first, to get an idea of which they really enjoy. The primary reason why I plan to go into pediatric onco

      The Salamander and the Reed           Once, a young little salamander was taking a meander around the pond it lived at. The salamander's mom had warned the little one to be careful on their journey, and be on the lookout for any predators. The walk was hardly enjoyable, with the salamander swinging their head continuously to keep an eye out for danger. There! The young salamander saw something moving amongst the grass and dived into a nearby puddle, a predator surely on their tail. The salamander spent the whole day in hiding, while the rest of the salamanders watched a reed sway peacefully in the breeze. Enjoy a puppy! (Because apparently, my blog won't let me upload my pic of a baby salamander) The Salamander and the Reed (condensed)     Their mother had warned and so the salamander was on their toes. Though perhaps a bit too on their toes, hiding in fear from a reed subject to the breeze. Author's Note:     I got my inspiration from the story The Serpent and the F
