Feedback Strategies

For this post I read “Be a Mirror: Guve Readers Feedback That Fosters a Growth Mindset” and “A simple 5-Second Habit to Rewire Your Harshly Self-Critical Brain”.

The first article was ok, I feel it explained it’s premise not simply enough and it had me confused on what it was trying to say. What I understood from it is to give feedback based on what the students thought process was instead of their work. The author emphasizes this idea, saying that you want to look at the person behind the work rather than the work itself. Hop into their mind to understand why they did it that way...

The second article I read was from last week. The article focused on this idea of looking forward instead of into the past. So when you are stressed or make a mistake, instead of reminiscing, treat that experience as one to learn from and have it spring you into a better future, with small steps to change your path away from that failure reoccurring.

I think knowing how to give and recieve feedback is important as it allows everyone to understand each other better, not only through improving the work, but by improving the enviroment of comments in general, making them more important for improvement.

Something about the idea of the extensive makeup effects and the creation of paranormal and otherworldly monsters make my interests in horror films even worse. Favorites? The Saw series, those films are just so mind bending and fun to watch. I took a few Horror classes over the last few semesters and I enjoyed every single bit of them. With that in mind, in the future I'm hoping to make or take part in making some horror films as a career. I live with a few roommates in Norman, one of those being my little brother. I have two dogs, both of them are pomskys (Pomeranian ...

Week 7 Story: Adventure Amongst the Clouds

Ari desired more than what his life currently entailed. He wanted to live it to it’s fullest. Ari was a simple man, but being simple wasn’t enough. One day, he saught his fortune from a local psychic, who in turned told him to travel to the mountains and honor the gods to find his destiny. Ari prepared a large backpack and some humble meals for the long travel. He already was a religious man, so he had easily packed all his praying equipment. So began Ari’s long journey up the mountainside. Every morning he would pray and meditate for 3 hours, he’d brought offerings, enough for every day he woke up in the mountains. It was one morning when Ari was meditating when he heard an animal approaching. It was a boar, with anger in it’s eyes and an intent to kill. Ari looking longingly at the boar, it had been a while since he’d had a decent meal, and his offerings to the god during his morning rituals were diminishing. A boar would be a feed him and his praying for the days to come. S...
