Some Awesome & Praiseworthy Feedback Strategies :)

This article was interesting, but my perspective on feedback is similar to this idea of "feedforward". I think it is very important to receive critiques on previous performance, and then to discuss specific ways to improve future performance. The article discusses how giving feedback regarding the past is not allowed during the feedforward process, but in my opinion I feel feedback back about the past an important aspect. I liked the ideas presented in the article, but I do not agree with everything it discusses.

I really enjoyed this article because it made me question my beliefs about praising desired behavior. In the business world, I have experienced this and learned about praising employees as a management strategy.

I feel I often give too much praise, and after reading this I am more aware of this. Hopefully, I can practice these techniques during my blog commenting because I probably have been giving too much praise instead of feedback on my classmates' blogs.

My name is Victoria, but I go by Tori. I am a senior, and I graduate in May 2018.   I am studying Business: Human Resources Management, and the Price College of Business is actually stopping this program after students graduate in May 2018. So, those graduating in May are the last ones to graduate with a degree in Business Human Resource Management from OU. It is sad to know the program is no longer going to be offered because I really have enjoyed it so far, but it is kind of cool to know that I will be one of the last ones to graduate with this degree from OU. My biggest accomplishment was balancing school, work, and activities. I enjoy staying busy and getting involved on campus and in the community. I work at a department of OU, The Center for Teaching Excellence, as a student office assistant. I have held my position there for over 2 years. Also, I participate in a few other organizations on and off campus. Over Christmas break I spent a lot of time with my family. ...

Week 7 Story: The Fox and His Family

Image
There once was a fox family who lived in the woods. Tod was the youngest member of the family. He had a mother, a father, an older sister, and a big brother.  One night they were sleeping in their home, and they woke up because they smelled burning wood. They came out of their burrow and saw that the entire forest around them was in flames. They were very scared and had to create a quick plan to get to safety. So, they decided the best place to go was to the watering hole. Tod's father told the family, "Follow me to the watering hole, quickly." When they reached the watering hole, they were relieved but exhausted from running.  It was extremely crowded at the watering hole because many other animals had the same plan as the fox family, so the fox family looked for a less crowded spot to lay down and relax.  Looking around at her exhausted family, mother asked, “Where’s Tod?” They began to worry that maybe he got lost or didn’t make it to the waterin...
