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 ...

Little Roly-Polies and Life Long Rivalries (Week 7 Story)

Image
      Samantha and Cameron had lived across the street from each other since they could remember. When they were younger, they had sleepovers at each other's homes just about every weekend. No one at school would believe that though, as the two are constantly at each other's throats when they are seen anywhere in the same vicinity. Sam is the captain of the girls' volleyball team and she is a member of the swimming and softball teams. Along with excelling in sports, Sam was also at the top of her class, scoring As since childhood. Like Sam, Cameron excels in several sports, captain of the boys' baseball team and part of the football and track teams. However, Cameron falls a bit behind in academics, and Sam loves to hold that over him. Why do they fight any chance they get? Well, even Cameron might struggle to tell you that. It is just how it has been for the past decade. On the flip side, if you ask Sam, she can pinpoint the exact moment their rivalry started. ~~~~~~~~~...
