In this class, we can do both. The nice thing about receiving feedback from others is that we can see how our words resonate with others. We can learn from people's reactions, incorporate their ideas, etc. The not-so-nice thing is that sometimes, very rarely, feedback might not be constructive and turn into a personal attack. Yuck.
We need to come up with some guidelines for how to give and receive feedback.
Please answer the following questions in the COMMENTS section:
- What are good ways to give feedback?
- What do we NOT want to do in terms of feedback?
- What are good ways to accept feedback?
- What do we NOT want to do when looking at feedback from our peers?
1. By either complimenting certain aspects (if you like them) or by giving advice for how to improve the work.
ReplyDelete2. We don't want to simply bash someone's work. If you don't like something, state it in a way that is helpful, not harmful. Don't be a dick.
3. It would probably be best to accept feedback by: acknowledging what you did well and what you didn't do so well. Realize that there's always room for improvement.
4. We do not want to make judgments against people based on their feedback. They're free to have their own opinions.
1. Tell people how they can improve there writing instead of saying this part sucks.
ReplyDelete2. Tell people they suck a writing or their topics are horrible. Things of that nature.
3. Listen to people ideas and consider them instead of thinking that someone is bashing on what you wrote.
4. Start a internet comment fight over a suggestion.
1. Feedback should be given with the thought of trying to either improve the writing or with the thought of applauding the author's work
ReplyDelete2. We don't want to give choppy feedback without a purpose other than to dislike the post, we should try to help improve and be constructive
3. Accept feedback with open eyes and to not be close minded to change
4. We don't want to unaccept the constructive critisism to the point where you are actually not benefiting from it, you want to improve your writing
1) Always pair a positive comment with a suggestion so the suggestion doesn't seem like it's negative feedback
ReplyDelete2) Don't leave feedback that the writer can do nothing about.
3) Talk to the person that left the comment and have them explain in detail what they meant by their feedback.
4) Don't ignore the feedback, pick the feedback that you agree with and change your paper in some way.
1. Give suggestions on how the person COULD change their piece to make it better. Also, name some things the person COULD add or omit from their piece.
ReplyDelete2. You DO NOT want to say that a piece is crap or that it totally sucks and there is no hope for it.
3. Try to use some of the suggestions that people give you in a way that YOU think will make YOUR piece better. If you do not agree with the criticism, don't feel like you have to change it if you feel it will not benefit your own piece.
4. We DO NOT want to just change everything in our pieces to what others say we should change it to. Some of their criticism you might not like for your piece and you may not feel it will make it better at all. You do not want to ignore it all either, but take each piece on criticism into consideration.
EXCELLENT suggestions so far. You've all brought up some good points. Who's next?

1. When giving feedback, be respectful and give suggestions about what the writer could do with their piece, not what they should do.
ReplyDelete2. We do not want to be rude or sound like we are better than the writer.
3. Don't get offended by what the feedback is. Take it as suggestions, not criticism.
4. We do not want to get upset at the person who is giving feedback. They are only trying to help your piece of writing be at its full potential.
1. Feedback helps the most when it's specific. Vague responses won't help the write improve their piece
ReplyDelete2. We do not want negative responses. Productive criticism is different than bashing somebody's work
3. Have an open mind
4. We shouldn't disregard anything
