The feedback I receive from other students is beneficial when drafting new stories because it gives me insight on some things I could try that I wouldn't have thought of myself. Overall, I'm pleased with the comments and feedback I receive from other students. It helps me as a writer to see the story from other people's perspectives, which is really nice. When leaving feedback for other students, I try not to hold back, because I think a comment or feedback that criticizes the story is actually more beneficial than a comment that just says "good job." Not saying that I try to rip other student's stories apart when I give feedback, but I try to look for things that could use some tweaking and point it out to students. I enjoy that people leave comments on my blog, especially my introduction post, and I enjoy being able to learn about other students from their introduction too. However, being an online class, you can only learn so much from your peers, so I'd say I still don't know the other students very well, and that's OK. I feel like people wouldn't be as creative or daring with their stories if it were an in-person class because they would feel more judged. Going forward, I look to continue learning from my peers and getting a different perspective from them in their feedback, and I plan to continue giving good feedback to help others with their story.

I think this is an important message because we don't develop new ideas or different perspectives unless we're given feedback in some way or another. Link |
