Feedback Strategies

The Key to Improvement

The articles The Trouble with “Amazing”: Giving Praise that Matters and The Difference Between Praise and Feedback both state that when we say "Good Job!" or "Your amazing" we are praising the person and not necessarily the effort that they put in their work. They also talk about how saying just phrases of praise it is not necessarily helping the person improve, we are also not specifically telling them what they did well either. Reading through the feedback gallery, people were both praising the author on what they did right but also provided input in what could make the story better and even asked questions in things that they did not understand. I think these type of strategies are good ones to use when giving constructive feedback, we all have different minds so providing outside input is good to help us improve as long as we are not giving in a form of negativity I think it is good to not such use praise words by trying to be nice but be more specific in our feedback like what the authors suggested in the articles.

Introduction to a Science,Travel and Hiking enthusiast!

City view of Guanajuato, Mexico Taken by me  Hello everyone!! My name is Monica Avila, I was born in Guanajuato, Mexico and moved to the U.S. when I was five, I can speak Spanish, English and a little bit of Portuguese (currently learning). I am a senior here at OU (Wow can't believe I'm saying senior time flies by so fast). I am a Health and Exercise Science major. I'll be graduating this spring, my plans so far are to take a year off and work and travel a little maybe go for masters in health promotion but I'm still not sure yet. In the future, I hope to go to grad school for physical therapy and work with either the elderly or children. I love science and learning about the human body. The way the human body works and manages to keep us alive is so amazing, learning all the mechanics of it is one of my favorite parts of my major. Therefore, some of my favorite classes have been Human Anatomy and Exercise Physiology. Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro, B

Week 3 Story: Love at First Sight

Wedding of Prince Rama and Princess Sita as depicted in 'The Ramayana' Image Source: Infinite Eyes in flicker I stood there for a moment staring at my reflection, my whole body embellished in the finest clothes and jewels. I still couldn't believe it, today is the day. My body was filled with nerves and excitement all at once. Suddenly a large smile adorned my face as I remembered our first encounter and the events that came after... After we successfully helped Vishvamitra win in the battle against the rakshasas, Lakshmana kept bothering me to accompany him in exploring the city. All I wanted to do was rest after the long day but after a lot of convincing I finally gave in. We were accompanied by a hermit and finally set out to explore the city of Mithila ruled by the great King Janaka. The city was beautiful and full of life and the smells from the marketplace filled our noses, we walked for a while and later made our way to  King Janaka's palace, where w
