Feedback Strategies

I agree with the praise article the most. Many people are quick to just tell someone how well they did or are doing at something, but no one really wants to play devils advocate and tell them what's wrong or what they can do better. This falls in line with the second one article, it helps people understand how to word their constructive criticisms so that kids, as well as adults can be "praised" while also giving them ideas on how to do better.

    Hi again Jake!

    These are different from the articles I looked at, but their message seems to be identical. I would agree that most people are more likely to use praise with little constructive content; buuuuut, every now and then I run into individuals who only criticize. Some of both seems to work the best for motivating me. I do feel like giving someone a criticism sandwich (good, bad, good style feedback) can sometimes feel very transparent, which I find a little irritating. However, most of the feedback I've received so far in this course has been really helpful.

    Also, great meme :)

Hello everyone,  My name is Jake Compton and I am a Senior Communication Major. I have been in college since FA 2012 and have changed my major a few times starting with Chemical Engineering, moving to Finance, and finally settling on Communication. Initially I went to The University of Tulsa and played football my freshman year, but the struggles of football plus Chem E. was a lot to handle and I ended up transferring out and going to community college for a while. Finally making my way to OU as a Finance major however after doing very bad in Calc 2  I finally switched to Communication. Lucky for me, I want to be a sales rep. for a chemical company such as Chevron Phillips, Exxon, Shell, etc. and there are many majors that I can use to achieve that. After quitting football I was looking for something to do competitively and my brother introduced me to Magic: The Gathering and I have been playing that semi-competitively since 2013 and plan on being more competitive after graduation.

Week 11 Story: The Turtle that couldn't stop talking

Once upon a time, there was a lonely turtle in living in a pond all alone. He saw two geese that were flying south for the winter and they passed by his pond. He called up to them and they flew down to him and they stuck up a conversation. Soon, the three of them became very close friends and they spent the entire winter with the turtle. The turtle showed the two geese around his small little pond and showed them the best places to look for food and where the best places to swim were. However, at the end of winter the geese were leaving to go back to their home. The geese noticed the sad look on the turtle’s face as they were telling him that they needed to go back to their home. As the turtle turned around and began to turn away to head back to the pond, the geese called out to the turtle and asked the him if he would like to join them and go to their home with them so they can continue to be friends. They said they would bring him with them if he did not talk at all along the trip an
