Feedback Strategies


I really appreciated both articles that I read. The “Differencebetween Praise and Feedback” article was really interesting. I feel like it tackled the issue of parents simply throwing blind compliments at children and instead taking the time to give context their comments. The main takeaway was become more involved and interactive with children. This could be more beneficial than vague praise statements. The other article I read was “Presence Not Praise.” It dealt with the issue of praise possibly being toxic, especially if the praise was simply directed toward accomplishment and not toward the effort. To answer to the questions from the post, I always try to give feedback every time I get the chance, because I know how much I appreciate feedback. It’s an invaluable resource and if it is handled correctly, its boundless potential. However, I feel that being constructive is very important and making sure that your criticism is wanted. For instance, if I am in the lab with a fellow student who might be having a hard time with a microscope. I would first ask if they minded if I made an observation. If they say okay, I will then use myself in a hypothetical example and try to avoid saying “you should.” After my suggestion or feedback, I would then try to find a constructive comment for their approach to offset my criticism. That’s just me.

Learning Challenge: "Data Reveals How Some College Student's Sleep"

For this week's Learning Challenge, I read an article about sleeping. The article is entitled Data Reveals How Some College Students Sleep . The article was written with the interest of how sleeping conditions may affect learning. In essence, the study followed the sleeping habits of college students aged from 18-22 and tracked certain conditions. One things they found was students aren't that sleep deprived. The average student in this study clocked in 7 hours and 3 minutes of rest a night. I can honestly say that this was something that was confirmed for me. And if you've ever lived in a fraternity, you would have a really hard time believing it was shy of that number. Something that I learned from this study was that women go to bed and wake up earlier than men. Although, this makes a lot of sense. The two are probably correlated. Moreover, one thing that made me curious was the finding that tougher schools have the most sleep deprived students. For instance, Columbia in...

Learning By HEART: Time Management, Week 7

I read an article entitled: 11 Ways Unsuccessful People Mismanage Their Time . This article describes how in many way a certain list of bad habits contribute to people's lack of success. I thought this article was very insightful and I learned to stay away from the many pitfalls that could make me unsuccessful. One thing that I knew was that procrastinating was the enemy to success in every measure! That's college 101 and pretty any other goal you may have. One thing that I learned was that people who don't utilize their weekends could be setting themselves up for failure. I thought was interesting, but it makes sense. Juggling too much can make event he easiest work haphazard. Lastly, one thing that made me curious was "not having rituals" could be a bad habit. Thus, I went to investigate this and was led down a wikipedia wormhole! But it was all in the interest of learning. Simply put, just form good habits!                     ...
