Week 8 Comments and Feedback

I actually like the comments and feedback that I am receiving from other students. They often bring up questions about details in the story that I overlook because I know all the details in my head. It reminds me to do better when I’m translating from my head to my blog. I also appreciate everyone’s kindness and positive reviews. I am not good at constructive criticism, so I just need to work on that whole category as a whole.

I want to say that I am giving quality feedback, but I know I am holding back a bit. I often have some points that I want to bring up in regard to how they can improve their story based on what I think would benefit the story the most, but I never tell anyone because I’m not really sure that the feedback is essential. In these cases, their story is great by itself, but a few additions could make the story even better in my eyes. I do like leaving positive feedback and mentioning small details so they know that I really read and enjoyed the story.

I feel like the blogs are a great way to get to know people. If anything, we do learn about what a person’s interests and writing style are like. I am pretty happy with what my blog tells others about me.

I chose this image because it reminds me that it is important to be able to give yourself feedback in addition to listening to the feedback others give you and improving based on that. Also, I really like cats even though I am allergic to them.
