Feedback Strategies: Praise


Praise-- When do you use it? 

I have given feedback on a few different types of work in the past. Some are academic writing; some are music (I used to help a local record company with song composition), scripts, projects, and many other types of work. I have learned that praise is key to get the author to listen to the constructive criticism. I know myself well enough to know that I always open up to criticism in a better mindset when it is paired with encouragement.

1.     Article 1: The Difference Between Praise and Feedback
-       mind shift (link to article) 
-       Process Praise: praise someone’s hard work and effort instead of their talent
-       This would give people the motivation to work hard (then it will produce better results)
-       I feel like I would respond to this very well; I pride myself in hard work
-       Personhood: Children don’t need to be told theyre good by doing chores: that way they know they are loved unconditionally
-       Theres a balance of positive and negative feedback that is needed for best results


2.     Article 2: Jen Gibbs’ Invisible Sun
-       infographic on how to form constructive criticism (found at Feedback) 
-       Be a mirror: always tell them things that stood out to you and how you reacted to their work
-       Like the feedback articles we read last week these articles are a good balance of constructive with the encouragement
-       GUIDE: praise and feedback is almost useless if you don’t give some sort of suggestions or comments to move the project or writing in a forward motion.
-       The critic is the greatest motivator and the leader in the right direction!


I love reading articles such as these; any way I can improve academics, my relationships, or myself, I am ready to do so. I love these assignments, as well as the growth mindset assignments as well.


Feedback, Group, Communication, Opinion, Review

This is a good illustration of feedback: everyone will have different types of feedback and use different types of suggestions and amounts of praise.

Website Address:    Jatakas and Justice Site Website Name: Jatakas and Justice As you read through my storybook project, imagine you are a law student or just someone interested in the law and how it works.  In the Jatakas, a central theme is Dharma (which means law and order) for the characters to live by. I will be telling the stories from Yama's, the god of Dharma, perspective. The kind of experience I want to give to my readers is one that is unique from any other project that has been done. I want my readers to get a sense of my love for the law, and I want them to think of these “life lessons” that appear in Jatakas as laws to live by. PLEASE LEAVE COMMENTS!

Mahabharata Storytelling (Week 6): Satyavati's Deception

Image
The mighty king, Vichitravirya, was just pronounced dead by his legal council. So many of his subjects adored him and cherished his rulings, so a period of mourning occurred for weeks.   According to my rulings of Dharma, he lived a righteous life, but the gods did not choose to reward him with a son to take the throne. Because of this, I wanted to send a test to his family to see if their Dharma was as important to them as it was to Vichitravirya. One week after his  death, Satyavati, a beautiful sister to the king, makes a plan to tempt the royal family into breaking my cosmic law. Satyavati summons Bhishma, her and Vichitravirya’s brother, and makes a proposal to him. “Brother, you had no opportunity to take the throne because of your older brother, but this could be your chance to rule the kingdom.” She said with a sneaky tongue. Bhisma’s eyes lit up with excitement thinking about his future on the throne. He leaned in closer and listened to her opportun...

My name is Leigh McBride, and I am a junior here at OU. I am a philosophy major, and I am hoping to attend law school after graduation. I love my classes, but I will have an extremely difficult year due to my upcoming LSAT test date next June. My DREAM LAW SCHOOL is the University of Texas in Austin, but it is one of the hardest schools to get into in the southern half of the country. My dad graduated from UT with a bachelors in business and education, so I have always (secretly) been a longhorn. Everything I do this year will directly work towards my dream school! But always, I will always be a Sooner first and foremost: it is where I chose to attend my undergraduate years, so it will always be my true home.    University of Texas Clock Tower and West Campus Fountain This spot is where I took my family pictures each year  This year, I will be mostly studying for the LSAT, but I still work two jobs and participate in my sorority, Kappa Alpha Theta. I live...
