Feedback Strategies

Week 04

Feedback Strategies

There are loads of different types of feedback and strategies to feedback, these can help spark a new train of thought or change how we go about working and our attitude towards working.

"The difference between praise and feedback"
One of the articles of strategies I would like to talk about today is "The difference between praise and Feedback" 
This is an interesting topic as this impacts many people's lives and outlook on situations and challenges.


Praising process
Some of the most prominent psychologists behind this whole idea of the effects of praise, Both Dweck and Deci are theorists of human motivation, but they emphasize very different perspectives on praise.
Dweck's studies have shown us that the effect of "progress praise" is praising the effort the person has put in which is a lot more healthy and important an example would be that "you must have worked very hard to get where you are now". This is different from the "person praise" this is where you tell them they're amazing and praising them even though they didn't do anything.
This idea that reinforcing paise then they work hard is more than likely going to make people think that they believe that it can be done with hard work, this means that they could be more open to taking on new challenges and getting better at things. This intern could build a growth mindset and a good overall attitude.

Praise VS Feedback
People react with responses and suggestions in response to how others act and do things, they can either overpraise or give constructive feedback. I agree that with what Dweck says about sugarcoating and how it can lead to bad habits, Dweck's response to this is instead of mindlessly following and praising others you should get involved with what they're doing and appreciate it, ask questions and understand what they're doing and give feedback based on it, talk to them about their thought process and how they can learn from mistakes and so on. Encourage them to actively seek positive and negative feedback in order for that person to grow and improve.
I do agree with Dweck's idea of praise and feedback and I think there should be a balance between both in order to grow and learn from things in all aspects of life, I found this article very interesting and if you would like to read more find it here: shorturl.at/amyO6

"How to give feedback without sounding like a jerk"
Another article I read about feedback was "How to give feedback without sounding like a jerk" I think this was an eye-opening article because it shows in the intro the writer Adam Grant talks about a workplace and the group dynamic in the workplace. He says how everyone compliments each other work and there is rarely any proper feedback. These compliments all fall on deaf ears and they are used to it so it sounds insincere.

Steps to take when giving feedback
  1. Explain to them why you're giving feedback
  2. Take yourself off a pedestal
  3. Ask the person if they want feedback
  4. have a transparent dialogue, not a manipulative monologue
In my opinion, these steps or precautions to giving someone feedback are good, and the best way I've seen so far more on this article here: shorturl.at/mDLWZ

 Week 02 Introduction To Adam Elder Hi, my name is Adam Elder, I am nineteen years old and I am part of CDM at TUD Blanchardstown.  I love to play sports, video games, watch movies, and make new friends I also love to listen to music.  I have a family that is all into taekwondo and all of us do it. I've been doing it since I was 11. Being a part of RiverValley Taekwondo has made me the person I am today. That club has taught me so much about how I treat and interact with people and has made me disciplined in the things I do outside taekwondo as well. the people who have coached me and the people I trained with have been almost like family and when we do competitions we cheer and support each other like one. This image was taken outside the stadium in Inzel Germany for the World Championships in 2019 Where I represented Ireland the atmosphere was amazing and the supporters made the st

 Week 09 Project Alpha It is coming up to the final weeks of the project and I have to say that I am making decent progress, this week I mainly tied up some loose ends with my game such as making the enemies this week spawn randomly others would be: Giving grid boundaries so that the enemies spawn within the play area. Making Box Colliders to each the enemies as well as the player character and the fireballs. Arranging the dragon and fireball prefabs in my game. Creating random spawn generation for the dragon enemies. Box Colliders This was really confusing for me throughout this week's work because I couldn't find why they weren't showing and then I found out that I didn't have the button "Box Editor" selected, I wasted so much time trying to find out what was wrong with it. When they were showing up they weren't following the player, but again I was looking at the one in the hierarchy but the prefab one was. I added a destroy-on collision rule so that wh

Game Brainstorm

 Week 03 Game Brainstorm There has been a couple of ideas I thought of since the start of this module but here are the four that I think are most reasonable.  Bartendar Simulator: This was my first idea, the plan was to make a game where you would pour drinks at the bar and control the pressure and the tilt, then you serve them to the customers, depending on how well it is done you will get a good score. It would start with you getting a request from the customer with a certain drink or service, then you go and pick the glass up, bring it to the tap and start pouring the drink for the customer, in this process you'll have to make adjustments to the pressure using the valve, tilting the glass and judging the distance the glass is to the nozzle and the tilt on the glass, after that you'll have your character pick up the glass and bring it over to the other side of the bar and place it down beside the customer, here is where the customer could complain about not having enough head
