Week 8 Comments and Feedback

Feedback In

Something that I have really enjoyed through this class thus far is the feedback that I have received, and specifically the quality of it. It has been helpful to get comments week in and week out to see how I can improve the quality of what I am writing in order to better myself. The most helpful commenting has been on my storybook collection, providing clarity as to how I can make that the best that it can be.

Feedback Out

I have also enjoyed getting to give the feedback to other people on their work. It's something that I've been asked to do in a variety of settings, especially in the English courses that directly pertain to my major, but there has never been such a time to learn how to give the best possible feedback. I think that aspect of this part of the course has been my favorite. I have loved reading the articles about how to give feedback and being able to apply them to this course and even other courses in the future that I'm sure will have a feedback component. 

Blog Comments

The commenting aspect of this course has also been interesting to me thus far, especially considering that it is so unique to this online experience for me. I've never particularly enjoyed online classes as much as in person because I felt like I was just off on my own doing my own thing but that has not been the case for this course. I enjoy the requirement to comment on however many blogs each week because it incorporates a chance to get to know people and get a few points while you're at it, providing an incentive.

Looking Forward

The only thing I can think of that might make this aspect of the class more useful is if I do a better job of budgeting some amount of time to look over this and really give good feedback. I think that there have been some weeks that I have been in a hurry and my quality could have been a little bit better had I planned a little bit more efficiently.
