ENG 122 Week 3 discussion
Describe your strategy for listening to, and really understanding, the feedback
you receive.
When reading feedback from others, sometimes I have to take it and read it a few times
and then read my own writing again to understand what they are stating and find the
best way to make the corrections as well as ensure what they are stating is correct.
Garten and Pritts stated that "Peer review is a valuable exercise since student peers
can provide insight from a reader’s perspective. However, fellow students are not
necessarily subject matter experts yet." (2022). While all feedback is good to receive,
not all feedback is correct. This is why I have learned to read the feedback several
times as well as read my own writing and interpret it towards my paper to ensure it's
correct.
Explain any steps you may take to get better at receiving feedback.
Utilizing the steps, I tend to use, asking for just one thing and understanding my
tendencies. I realize that at times I tend to get defensive when reading feedback, but
over time, I have learned to take these things with a grain of salt and realize that
someone is attempting to help me do better. When I ask for an area of help it's because
at times I don't know where I am struggling without someone pointing to it and showing
me.
Discuss the different types of feedback you have received in this course.
Throughout this course, I feel the most valuable feedback given to me was from our
instructor. I have over time begun to utilize feedback given to me from the instructors to
better my assignments and the way that waypoint allows them to break down their
feedback piece by piece and show us where the feedback is directed is the most
helpful.
Consider at least two specific comments you have received as feedback.
One specific comment I received was in a past class. I was managing to stay ahead in
the class and it was nice to always be ahead and ensure my assignments were
submitted on time. Little did I know, one assignment had a template attached to it and I
missed it and just wrote my paper and submitted it, Long story short I had submitted the
assignment completely incorrectly and had to completely restart the next week on it as
well that week's work. The lesson I learned was to slow down and pay attention. another
piece of feedback I received was a simple punctuation correction I had missed in a
paper. Sometimes when writing we just get deep into it and miss the little things and end
up submitting a paper that has minor issues such as missed quotations. Once again it
was another chance for me to slow down and read what I am submitting to ensure I am
producing a proper assignment.
