Feedback Strategies

Part A

One of the areas I found most useful from reading past student's feedback was the "Asking Useful questions" tab. I feel like this helps me the most in feedback, but it's also what I tend to do best when giving feedback.  In order to grow we have to think and provide information on our own. If we're constantly giving suggestions without allowing the learner to learn, then no one will ever get better in the long run.

Part B

I read "Try Feedforward Instead of Feedback" and also "Be a Mirror: Give Readers Feedback that Fosters a Growth Mindset". In both articles, the central idea was always growth. Why give feedback if we're not giving feedback to allow our peers to grow? As this is a rhetorical question, the answer is obviously there would be no point! It would be wasting everybody's time. In order to grow, we need to have a second set of eyes on our work. Get opinions and feedforward criticism, rather than feedback criticism.
