Feedback Strategies: More Thoughts

 Try Feedforward Instead of Feedback & Be a Mirror: Give Readers Feedback That Fosters a Growth Mindset

    I chose different articles this semester but I still remember the concepts from How to Give Feedback Without Sounding Like a Jerk. I think feedback is extremely important and I am pretty confident in my ability to do so. The first article about trying feedforward instead of feedback discusses a number of ways in which being feedforward can elicit a less uncomfortable response from the listener. It discusses one thing which I found very interesting which was that people do not take feedforward as personally as feedback. Being feedforward means giving positive suggestions or objective advice that cannot be misinterpreted as a personal critique which often feels like an attack. The second article discussed being a mirror and discusses a number of qualities adjacent to the growth mindset. The author discusses that our mindsets or malleable and can be shaped towards a more growth-based lens. In terms of feedback, it discusses being specific as well as making sure it can transfer. Making sure it can transfer is important because it allows the listener to understand in a way that they can apply the advice in a different context as well. I think no matter what article you chose to read there is something to take away that can aid your feedback skills and ultimately the person you are giving feedback to.

  Hello, My name is Wesley Williams and I am a biology pre-dentistry major. The coolest thing about my major is that I only had to take Calculus and not go any further in math. One of the best classes I took last semester was Indian Epics. I enjoyed taking Epics it was the most fun class had during a hectic schedule last semester. Being able to create and control my schedule as well as the structure of the class, in general, made it very enjoyable. One of my biggest accomplishments last semester was going finishing the semester with a 4.0 in a total of 19 hours. A few of my favorite TV shows are Snowfall, Breaking Bad, Money Heist, and Power. A couple of my favorite movies are Blue Streak, Juice, Paid in Full, and American Assassin. Some of my favorite music artists are Juice Wrld, Polo G, Money Man, and Rod Wave.

Week 13 Story: The End of Art

The End of Art          Art had just won his fierce battle against the mighty Mordred, however, he would not leave this battle unscathed. Mordred had managed to injure Art with a slash to the gut just before getting slain. Art had been bleeding profusely and was being tended to by his sire Tomas. Art had told his sire that his final wish would be to return his sword from which it had came in the sea. Tomas agreed and promised to uphold Art’s dying wish. When Tomas received the sword he examined it and saw the many jewels embedded around the sheath. Tomas asked Art, “Are you sure you want to rid of this sword, it would be better off in someone else’s possession?”. Art replied, “Yes, I have thought long and hard about this and want my sword returned to sea as I part ways with this earth.” Tomas left to the other side of the forest where the sea was and decided to hide the sword in a bush instead of getting rid of it. He returned to Art and told him he had got rid of the sword. Art asked
