Week 8 Comments and Feedback

I think the feedback I am getting from my peers is great, I think we are all trying our best to help each other improve. I think my favorite feedback is when people ask me questions to think about. These questions make me consider things differently and sometimes they spark new ideas. I also love it when people comment my typos. I feel like I probably should be embarrassed about publishing something with typos, but for me whether I read it over and over or read it out loud or do both at the same time I still tend to miss things because I know what I meant to say and might just pass over the issues. 

I think the feedback I am giving is decent. I am not a great writer and am trying to get better myself, so I am trying to leave constructive criticism for my peers. I have found that following the WWW and TAG methods are really helpful. I think I am leaving good feedback all in all.

I think the blog comments do give me a sense of getting to know my classmates. For example, on my introduction someone commented that they actually knew where Greenville, Texas was located, which I found really interesting because usually people from the DFW area have never heard of Greenville even though it is only 50 miles away from them. I also feel like I can get a sense of my classmates' personalities by reading their introductions and stories. I have really enjoyed the commenting process. I do not think I want to change my introduction because it pretty much sums up my background and who I am as a person.


Moving forward I think I just need to continue to learn more feedback strategies to be able to give my peers valid feedback. For me personally, I think I need to set aside more time to actually read through all the comments on my post more thoroughly. 

I chose the below feedback cat photo because I find feedback an important component of growing whether it be as a person, in writing, in playing a sport, or just living everyday life. The feedback of others in my life has always been very important to me and will continue to be important to me. I would not be the student I am today, the person I am today, the athlete I am today, the writer I am today, or anything else that defines me without the evaluations and comments the people in my life thus far have given me.
