Feedback Strategies

The two Articles I chose to read were Be a Mirror, and the difference between praise and feedback. The first article focused of 5 qualities for good feedback. First being be specific with the feedback, the second point being focus on what the reader is doing. The third being focus on the process, showing the writer there time was valued. The fourth point was make sure it can transfer, meaning make sure they can use it in other aspects other than that one assignment. The fifth and final being take yourself out of the feedback, make it about them and less about you.

Some takeaways from the second article were do not just praise someone on what they  have done, but get more involved with them, appreciate it and ask questions. Encourage both positive and negative feedback, the negative feedback is just ground for improvement. Pay attention through out so that in the feedback you can be descriptive about something very specific needing improvement.

In my opinion feedback is necessary for improvement. Feedback should be very specific towards one thing but also in the sense that it can be applied to many other things you do. Feedback should not be negative towards the author but be constructive, with at least one praise before the first constructive comment.  But the feedback needs many constructive comments to further improve the authors work.

    Hi Drew,

    I have found these feedback strategies very helpful, as giving feedback is often difficult. It is very important to be specific, otherwise the feedback tends to be hard to act on. It is interesting to see that engaging and asking questions can help in giving feedback. I agree with you that feedback is necessary for improvement, and giving it is a skill.

Introduction To Lead Engineer

Hi all,           My name is Drew Fazzino, I am a Senior at the University of Oklahoma. My major is Mechanical Engineering. The coolest thing about my major is seeing how different systems work together and run, as well as making parts in CAD and seeing them get made. The best class I took last semester was Engineering Design because I learned different CAD platforms and how to dynamically analyze parts via computer, taking out some of the time of tedious hand calculations. My biggest accomplishment last semester was boosting my gpa some and just having a good semester in general. Over the break, I went to Colorado for a couple of weeks and relaxed a little before and after my internship at innovex downhole solutions. It was a blessing to receive the internship this summer because it was great infield experience working with lead mechanical engineers all summer long. Although I said Colorado was my favorite place in the last blog I enjoy being on the water fishing too. I am the pre

Week 5 Story: Just a Game

Tom was an All-American hockey player and was the best in Pittsburg. He had major dreams of going to the NHL one day but now he was only 17 and could only work on perfecting his craft. He cam up through the ranks as a young boy being the best on any rink he stepped foot on. He once had a teammate whose name was Jared, who he had done wrong to unintentionally, but Jared never seemed to forgive him.   They came up through the ranks together all the way to their senior year where both of them ended up being drafted by the Pittsburg Penguins. They were both climbing up the ranks on the team and found themselves to be two of the best on the team, let alone in the NHL. Time came and the captain of the Pittsburg Penguins at the time retired. The coach had two guys in mind to take his place, Tom and Jared. Tome was in the better position to take the job because of the connections he had made with the rest of the teammates, but Jared would not let this stop him.   Because way back when T
