1. The concept I find very interesting in chapter 2 is feedback. I used to think getting feedback is a way to know how people think about your work, but the textbook explain feedback in a small group in a intriguing way; “A group must pay attention both to the feedback that it receives from its larger environment in the form of its initial charge and directions, as well as to the response to its presentations”(p.32). We should not only pay attention to the content of the feedback and also how it was delivered, so this way we can fully take that feedback into account and improves the group. I also think both positive feedback and negative feedback are equally important because we want creativity but at the same time we need to also maintain certain balance. I actually like getting feedbacks because this is how I improve myself and also know how the rest of the group is doing.
Sogo,
ReplyDeleteI also find the concept of feedback interesting. I used to think of feedback only in a large format, as in the form of the larger format. I never thought to think about how the content was delivered. Can you give an example?
I agree that positive and negative feedback is important. I believe that there is always something that can be improved on, that nothing is perfect. I know a lot of the time, positive feedback will only be given. Sometimes in group presentations students will usually say “good job” or “nice work”, but will not state the negatives no matter how obvious it is. You provide good evidence as to why the feedback is good by stating "we want creativity but at the same time we need to also maintain certain balance."

I also love positive feedback, i mean who doesn't love a compliment now and then. Negative feedback is also good only when given. I believe that constructive criticism has helped me become a better employer and a responsible student. My friends have reminded me of my bad habits and let me know of my good ones. Thank god I have honest friends, but not the kind of honest friends that criticize you about every single thing. I've noticed that positive feedback will boost someone's confidence or even make their average day into a great one. I remember small things like that from time-to-time, and I try my best to pass on that positive attitude.
