Feedback Strategies

Good morning! I hope you all are having a great day.

Today I have read two articles about giving feedback. Here's what I found out!

The first article is called "The Difference Between Praise and Feedback". The reason I chose this article is because the title stood out to me. Reading this article I found a few things about feedback that I didn't know. I learned that saying "Good Job" or phrases along this line are not great ways to give feedback to your child. The better way to do it is by "process praise". Also asking questions and listening to what they have to say make a huge difference in their progress. Doing those things will increase the chance of your child to take on risks and challenges. This is a very interesting article and I suggest you guy's read it.

The second article is called "How to Give Bad Feedback Without Being a Jerk". The reason I chose this article is a mixture between the title and the image used under the title. The title is very unformed which caught my attention and the image is of one of my favourite shows!

This is an original screenshot of the article.

This article focuses on how to give effective feedback without making them "feel attacked". Grant stated that using the "compliment sandwich" technique isn't the most efficient way of giving feedback. The compliment sandwich is basically starting and ending off with a positive comment and saying the negative points in between. This technique is used to easy out the negative comments on others. What Grant talks about is starting your feedback session with sentences such as "I'm giving you these comments because I have very high expectations and I know you can reach them.". This increases their interest and eases out the negative comments in an efficient way. Grant give real life situations using those techniques that helped companies.

Overall those articles were helpful in understanding ways to give more efficient feedback. I hope you guys learned a thing or two from my reading!

Thank you for listening and, as always I will see you soon,

Denis.

Introduction To Someone

Welcome back! So today I will introduce myself. Talk about things I like doing and things I don't. Well, I'm 20 years young, my nationality is Irish but I have Romanian parent. I never know what to answer when people ask me where I'm from as I have an accent, so I just say "I'm a foreign Irish person". I'm a big fan of sports (NOT FOOTBALL). My favourite sports at this moment are boxing, golf, surfing and the gym. I've done boxing for 5 years but stopped as I wanted to gain size and boxing had way too much cardio in it. So I joined the gym and I'm addicted to the gym. I train 6 days a week and my weekly gym plan is Push, Pull, Leg day and repeat. During my Push days I train chest, triceps and shoulders as to train those muscles you do exercises that involve a push motion. For Pull day I train my back, biceps and forearm as those muscles involve a pull motion to train them. And, leg day is just legs (LEAST FAVOURITE DAY IN THE GYM). The rest of the...

Game Design

I'm glad to see you back! Today we will talk about games. I have read 3 articles that I'm excited to tell you about! Image of Pac-Man's arcade game The first article is based on the idea "What is a Game?". This article talks about what people think a game is. It says that there's no proper definition and that you will get a different answer from every person you ask that works in the industry. Reading this article the main key points that are stated are that a game is voluntary, that if you are forced to play it it's not a game anymore. The writer also talk about the structure of a game. A game has to have an objective, an outcome, and rules to get there, a conflict, and the player also have to make decisions as he/she plays the game. Games usually have a story to go with it to make it more interesting. There are also games that are more linear, that don't exactly have a story such as "Snakes and Ladders". If you want to read it in depth you ...
