Peer Review #1, Week5, Reading Task


 

My experience from peer review...

 I have learned from doing feedback that it isn’t easy. To be able to put your point across in a nice way, learning how to change my mindset on feedback and how I feel when I must give feedback. I don’t like criticizing my peer’s work in a harsh way, so I chose the idea of feedforward, because people do not take it as personally as feedback rather, they tend to listen more attentively to feedforward than feedback. I tried doing feedforward instead of feedback. Doing this meant I could focus on the good qualities of the blog post rather than pointing out the bad. Giving suggestions for the future blogs that might help them achieve a positive change in their blogging.

In the article Marshall Goldsmith it has eleven reasons to try feedforward one of my favorite ones is number two. It can be more productive to help people learn to be “right,” than prove they were “wrong.” Negative feedback often becomes an exercise in “let me prove you were wrong.” This tends to produce defensiveness on the part of the receiver and discomfort on the part of the sender. Even constructively delivered feedback is often seen as negative as it necessarily involves a discussion of mistakes, shortfalls, and problems. Feedforward, on the other hand, is almost always seen as positive because it focuses on solutions – not problems. (Goldsmith, n.d.) Marshall Goldsmith

I always doubt my own work, but I know that everything can not be perfect the first time you do it, so I know how it feels when someone is going to be giving feedback on your work. I would rather learn from it and take it on board, in a positive way and take it as good criticism than to think that their opinion is wrong and think badly about it.

I found giving feedback on two blogs was hard, each blog was different in good ways. It was hard to come up with questions when I felt I knew the information. The two blogs were great I couldn’t really fault them I think they did great jobs in their own way.

The two blogs I gave feedback on was Kailan's and Zoe's, here is the links to their blogs...

Production Process, Week 5, Video task

  My thoughts on production process... To me design thinking is a philosophy and a set of tools to help you solve problems creatively. It is also a production process that helps you to organise effectively. It can be loosely divided into three stages these are Pre-production, Production and Post-production. I think it is important to be aware and learn about design thinking and various stages associated with design thinking. In the YouTube video by Aj & Smart by Johnathan Courtney CEO at AJ & Smart he shared that if you’re going to working with anything got to do with design thinking, is innovation taking the philosophy of design thinking and learning using something like the design sprint. As a recipe to run design thinking. I think digital media products that could apply design thinking to would be, films, documentaries, podcasts, vlogs.   Aj & Smart by Johnathan What takes place in the three stages of Production is first Pre-production, This is where ...

Another Revision, Week 9, Reading Task

pixabay photo Hi welcome back to my blog, The blogs I reviewed were  Ryan's Blog  for the week 3 reading task and  Milo's Blog  for the week 6 video task. I think they both did a great job on their blogs, I could just give them suggestions to add the source from where they got their opinion.  I learned from the comments on my blog that I have to start implying my experiences and feelings on the subject from Finn and that I should also add a conclusion paragraph to wrap it all up from Chloe. I also learned from Adam that he liked how I sourced the information on my blog and the way I lay it out. When I did the revise on my blog I implied the feedback which helped me a lot to know what I should be doing. Finn also gave me two good questions to help me make my blog clearer. They were “what’s the difference between Ethics and Morals” so I changed the paragraph to make it clearer on my revised blog. He also asked me “if I had any other examples of dark patterns ...

Reading Task, Week 10

free pixabay photo Hi welcome back to my blog. Today I will talk about how the peer review and the rewriting experience has gone over the semester. I have learned from the peer review task that I should add a bibliography at the end of every blog and add in text citations. I also need to start talking about the experience I have on the topic and how I feel about the topic which I have started to do in my recent blogs and plan to change on my previous blogs. I feel that my writing and reading skills have improved since my first feedback and even more since I got more feedback from other peers. I have received some great feedback overall to help me improve my blogs and know where I can make content easier and more enjoyable to read. Concise writing goal is to use the most effective words. To use the stronger words not always fewer. To get to the main point of the topic. (Arts, 2021) Too wordy sentences such as “It is the governor who signs or vetoes bills. – 9 words. Concise sent...
