Feedback Thoughts

  Feedback from peers is a tricky thing to accomplish sometimes. Some people don't want to hurt others feelings so they may miss out on the opportunity to help others while others are not shy at all about how they feel and in some cases take critiquing too far. I have been on both ends of this chain. In most of my experience though, feedback has not been as good as it should be. We do a lot of peer reviewing in scientific writing and for in class assignments we would trade our articles and review them. Most all the time I have someone that marks mine up bad. Then when I look over it, it still seems fine to me so I submit it the way I have it and end up with a near perfect score. So in my life I have ignored peer feedback. That being said this class is different than others I have taken where this is taken place. I think I am, like the articles "Fear of Feedback" and "Why Rejection Hurts" discuss, afraid of failure so when I come in contact with feedback that is not what I was hoping it to be I somewhat shut down. With this class however I will welcome feedback because it is creative writing and we all just want the best stories we can have, but everyone has a different way of taking it. This doesn't mean that it is right or wrong because how can a story be right or wrong. Instead it may just help in taking another avenue.

    I agree completely that anticipating feedback can be incredibly nerve wrecking. However, I think any feedback is good because it can help you grow not only as a student, but a person in general. It's always a positive thing if you have high self-esteem and can react to feedback well. I enjoyed reading your post!

Intorduction to Small Town Oklahoman

Hey! I'm Kasey Gill and I guess your here to read a little bit about myself. Well, I'm sorry but get prepared to be bored. Just kidding, my life isn't all that bad to talk about. I was been born and raised in the semi-small town of El Reno, Oklahoma, some 25 miles or so west of the Oklahoma City. Personal photo of an El Reno sunset I went to El Reno High School of course where, like most of us I'm sure had some good days and some bad days but always made the most of the days getting into trouble and making friends. During my four years there I began to fall in love with the thoughts and abilities of all things that science can offer the world. This started the basis of my higher level learning and future goals. As you could probably guess by the last statement I am in the Arts and Science's college majoring in Biology. I am a senior pre-med student and will be graduating in May (Thank the good Lord above). I have hopes of getting into the OUHSC medical program ...

Week 6 Story: The Meek Prince

Image
A long time ago in the kingdom of Lanka there lived two twin princes that were coming of the age to look for a wife and be wed. The two boy’s names were Shirma and Brahima. Although they were twins, the two young men were quite different from one another in both looks and attitude. Shirma was the first born of the two and was much larger and mightier than his brother Brahima. Shirma had long flowing hair and skin that was as fair as a lotus petal. He was also much more out going that Brahima. In today’s lingo, one might say he had a certain “bad-boy” swagger to him. Not that he was looking for trouble or was trouble but instead like he knew he was better than anyone else and let everyone know he knew. Brahima on the other hand was quite the opposite. He was meek, and mind toned. Now, each knew that their time for marriage was coming upon them and both knew that there was only one princess in all of India that would be suitable for them as a wife. That was the fair Shala from Sikki...
