Feedback Strategies


Hello, 

This week I learned more about feedback, and specifically ways to give better feedback. Here I would like to share with you some of the articles I read and what I found useful or interesting.

"How To Give Students Specific Feedback That Actually Helps Them Learn" gave some general advice on what kinds of feedback should be given to help others. This included things that for the most part I had heard, such as making it goal oriented, actionable, and specific. Although this is good advice, it wasn't really things I hadn't heard before. Looking over at "Three Simple Frameworks for Feedback" I saw something that I wasn't really expecting. This article took some of the same ideas as "How To Give Students Specific Feedback That Actually Helps Them Learn" and provided specific tools (diagrams to be filled out, and phrases) that can help people put those ideas into action easily. I would definitely recommend taking a look at the charts and considering using them when you are giving feedback in this course or in other areas in general. They aren't specific to writing and really help jump start a conversation that could seem daunting to many.

Hello!  My name is Cat and although this will be a blog about mythology and folklore, today I want to tell you all a little bit about myself and my summer. So, to start off I am a civil engineering student here at the University of Oklahoma. I will be graduating in December, but I will be staying on for another year to complete my master’s degree, also in civil engineering but with a focus on structural engineering. Civil engineering includes the design of buildings, infrastructure, water supply systems, waste water treatment systems, and traffic control systems to name a few.  Over this summer I had the opportunity to work as an intern for a civil engineering company and learned a lot from the experience. I learned to design pump stations, outline drainage areas, how to do the runoff calculations for inlets, culverts and drainage ditches, and a bunch of stuff about low impact development, but most importantly I learned that I don’t like doing any of those things....

Reading Notes: Lang European Fairy Tales II: Blue Beard

I am doing some week 15 assignments here during dead week to fill in some missing points. Because I read the first Lang unit last week and enjoyed it so much, I decided to read the second Lang unit this week. Of the stories that I read here are my notes over "Blue Beard" which I found quite exciting! Blue Beard was very rich, but considered ugly and terrifying for having a blue beard I would like to research to see if this is a reference to something else, because it is so strange  He also had had many wives previously and no one knew what happened to them  One of his neighbors had two daughters and he wanted to marry one of them  Neither of them wanted to marry him and kept playing him off on the other  To persuade them, Blue Beard invited the family and many others to one of his estates and they partied for a week After that, the younger sister decided he wasn't so bad and they were married  Blue Beard has to go away on business so he gives all...
