Feedback Strategies

The best way, like the Try Feedforward Instead of Feedback article mentioned to give feedback to others is to do it in a constructive, positive light. If you're focusing on past mistakes, that might not always be the best method to prevent future mistakes - instead, engaging in a dialogue over mistakes you've made with the person you're trying to correct. "Changing the future" is the point of feedback, trying to change their mistakes in order to make them a better writer along with a more well-rounded person. Like the article mentions, showing how someone can be right instead of showing them how they were wrong frames their mistakes in a positive light, making it more likely that they would heed your advice over what you have been telling them about.

The other article that I read, Be a Mirror, I loved the last piece of advice that was given over how to correctly foster a growth mindset within their mistakes - it described that we need to avoid using "I" pronouns within corrections, framing it in a way that it's them who needs to make a change, showing that this isn't coming from a place of selfishness. Furthermore, I really liked how the article talked about the growth mindset, stating what it was (thoughts over their abilities) and saying just how important it was to foster it well.

Introduction to Andrew

Hi! My name is Andrew Barton and I am currently a senior here at OU. My major is pre-medicine/biochemistry, so obviously this class is a little out of range from what I normally am taking during the semester. Right now, being a senior, I am applying to medical school. This is definitely not an easy process, but I am almost done with the application aspects of it. If I had to choose as to what medical school I could attend, it would be OU, since this is my home and I would be absolutely privileged to serve the community, especially where help is needed most. This summer, I went on one vacation to Seacrest Beach in Florida. For the remainder of the summer, I took Quantitative Analysis here at OU. The class wasn’t too terrible – the only “bad” part of the class was that lab was four times a week from 10:30-1:20. Other than those two things, my summer was pretty relaxing. I’m involved in a few student-led organizations at OU, with the primary one being Soonerthon. I have served o

Week 3 Story: Justice

Image
Walking up to the gleaming Palace of Three, Armistice could feel the hairs on the back of his neck stand up. No one was allowed past the white gate – what his grandfather had told him of his parentage must have been true. Armistice had a normal childhood, at least by mid-world’s standards. Living within the country had taught him the true value of things: justice, vengeance, and power – in this order, specifically, he was told how to rise up in the world, to be a representative of the place where he came from. He didn’t want to disappoint his teachers. That’s why he walked past the gate, why he was told of his relation to one of the three. Armistice didn’t simply want power to control his own fate, he wanted to control the fates of everyone around him – no one could get in his way. He was in front of the large marble door now – he could see the engravings of past revolts, with Vengeance coming down upon the masses with her fiery whip. Next to these revolts was Power, the weak
