Feedback Thoughts



Feedback and Me

Article 1 - Eight things students should do when they make a mistake

Here are two points from this article that I found the most important.

"If you get something wrong, figure out how to fix it"

For me this is a very important part of taking criticism. It is not just enough to know what is wrong with a person's work. They have to take actions to identify the sources of those problem and create a plan to prevent the same errors from occurring again.

"Balance is Key"

Finding a good balance between work and home life is a difficult task for most people. Personally, I find myself switching around between either too much focus on relaxation, or not enough. It is a very fine line to determine where and when is too much, but it is still important to enjoy life along to the way.

Article 2 - Overcoming The Fear Of Feedback

It was interesting to see this article talk about the physiological responses of the body to receiving feedback. While receiving negative feedback is stressful I would have never considered it as as a trigger for the natural fight-or-flight response. Knowing that reacting negatively to feedback is a natural occurrence will help me cope and to better use the feedback to adjust my writing style.
