Feedback Strategies

Be a Mirror and Criticizing Praise

I believe that the act of giving feedback and the manner that we do it in is a very important quality to for people to have. This concept can seriously affect people and can either seriously help or hurt their confidence. In this class especially, I believe that it is essential for us to be kind and thoughtful with our feedback because we are in such a public sphere. Each of these articles on criticism gave great insight. Most of all, I like how Be a Mirror talked about taking yourself out of the comment by avoiding using "I liked" or "I think" when giving feedback to a peer. In Criticizing Praise, I learned that praise is a tricky thing and eventually it can be seen as conditional and people may think that they have to do things a certain way to earn love and affection rather than just feeling loved and adored all of the time. 

These are all important things to remember and I believe that I will be able to utilize them well in this course.

    Hi Bailey!

    I could not agree with you more about the article "Be a Mirror!" The article was one that I actually shared on Facebook because I honestly believe that we need to focus on critiquing what a person has written and providing helpful feedback on that instead of on what is not there. You know the saying "great minds think alike," I could not have said it better myself.

Introduction to My Dream Life

All About Me Hello! My name is Bailey DeFilippo. I am a senior political science major. I chose to be a political science major because I wanted to go into federal law enforcement. I have recently changed my academic course and I have decided to go to graduate school next year for social work. I am hoping to be accepted into the Garland School of Social Work at Baylor University. After completing graduate school I would like to go into clinical social work and work with underprivileged children.  Some things that I enjoy are: listening to both country and christian music, watching Friends on Netflix, and spending time with my fiancé and my family. I also enjoy watching my younger brother play basketball and baseball. He has just signed to play baseball at Northern Oklahoma College in Tonkawa, Oklahoma. We are all very proud of Chase!  I also enjoy traveling with my family. About a year ago, my parent bought an R...

Story, Week 11

Looking Back As Julia sat on the big comfy chair by the foggy window in the coffee shop she took in everything. It was a normal New York afternoon, cloudy skies, a brisk breeze, and the sky looked as if it was about open up heavy rains on the city. In this moment, Julia could not be more content. She was looking out on her favorite city while sipping the best latte. She thought to herself, “ my life is perfect, I cannot believe I almost missed out on this ” .   Julia thought back to a year ago when she refused to move to New York City because she was afraid and did not think she would be successful. She remembered arguing with her parents and telling them that they had no business in where she lived and that they should stop pressuring her to move. Julia almost let out a small giggle because she was so silly to think that this move would have been anything but beneficial. When Julia first arrived in New York, she was really here for the inspiration that this big city w...
