Feedback Strategies

Like I said in my blog last week, I love getting feedback because I feel like it helps me grow as a student and an all together person. That being said, I do have trouble sometimes figuring out how I can give someone good feedback without just reiterating what they are saying. Of the article options, I read What Kinds of Messages Help Kids Grow and How to Give Bad Feedback Without Sounding Like a Jerk.

In the article about children and how to talk to them, it says that at their early stages of developing self concept, it is important to use language that can help them face challenges or struggles to help them grow and learn. My favorite point in the article is the use of "yet". I like the use of "yet" because it tells them that although they can't do it now, they will learn how to do it eventually. It teaches them to not give up, but continue to learn and grow.

In the feedback article, I was interested in it because I feel like I could benefit from learning ways to give feedback. What I learned from this article that although I am giving the feedback, I am no higher up than the person receiving the feedback. I think it is important to establish an even ground so that tone or the message does not become negative, in a bad way.

Introduction to a future PA

Hi everyone, my name is Lindsey. I am a junior here at the University of Oklahoma. I am originally from the Dallas, TX area much like a big portion of the students here at OU. My major is Health and Exercise Science, pre-PA. I have always been interested in sports and sport related injuries so I plan to become a PA for an orthopedic surgeon. The coolest thing about being a Health and Exercise Science major, or any major that is on a medical track, is that you have to take anatomy here at the university. The really unique thing about OU's anatomy course is that it is with cadaver. While that may freak most people out, the opportunities OU students have with having a cadaver experience really help for later admission into medical and graduate programs. Out of all my classes I have taken so far, that class would have to be the most challenging but also the coolest experience. As I said earlier, I am a big sports girl and root for all the Dallas teams, the Dallas Stars and...

Week 11 Story: The Case of the Missing Slipper

Once upon a time, lived a princess and her prince, on their vast piece of land. With them in their palace, lived hundreds of guards, servants, and courtiers to cater to their every needs. Next to their palace was a preparatory school. Many students would come to the palace to tour and hopefully prepare them for a life like the princess and the princes'. The princess and prince loved having an open landscape so they could get to know the students. On one sunny day, the prince and princess went for a lovely stroll along the pond that resided near the palace. As they were used to students often being around the palace, the princess told her courtiers to make sure her valuables were kept safe. The princess had her favorite pair of slippers that were her most important possession. They were a pair of beautiful pearl white slippers with a single pearl at the tip of the shoe.
