Peer Review #1

My thoughts

It was probably my first time giving people feedback, something I’m not used to at all like I’m a student. It's more of a lecturer or employees job to provide feedback on your written essays. I have to be honest. It is tough to give feedback to others, especially when it comes to other people around you. It could be challenging to provide negative feedback to people you know, and I find that it is easier to give good feedback if it's good, short and making easier to understand, and that’s my take on that.  

Helpful Information 

I have been reading some articles that could help and improve when giving feedback. I just had a quick reading of it. Essentially, what it tells you to do is be a mirror. It means “to reflect what is there without judgement”. For the qualities of feedback, it is essential to remember the vital growth mindset for feedback. 

  • The first main thing when you are giving feedback is to be specific about what you are describing when providing input to the particular individual you are giving it to. 
  • The second main thing to consider is to focus on who or what the actual person is doing. What they have chosen and why they have determined that particular subject to give feedback. 
  • The third main thing is to understand and focus on the process of what the reader has put in. It is important to remember when focusing on the process of what the reader has produced. It shows how we value the efforts on the work that is valued and important. 
  • The fourth main thing is understanding what the reader is using, like souring from a book or any primary source.
  • The final part is to remember to take yourself out of the feedback itself; it is important not to say “I like what you have done with this” or “I like” instead, you should be starting it off by communicating with the reader's name like “when you” it is vital to keep the focus on the reader essentially its what you are trying to stand by the quote “to reflect what is there without judgement”.

Looking Back

This week I finally wrapped up the group project I had to do over the past few weeks. This took a while to do with all the research that everyone had to do to get everything right and ready to go for this project.  My room with Microphone/IPad Pro using GarageBand  Shot by an iPhone camera  For this project, we had to shoot a video talking about how gaming has changed, and it's good or bad. What I mean by that is that in terms of being good would be that the graphics of a game looks good and detailed. There’s a lot of content in the game itself, and with the evolution of technology, game developers can quickly implement and build up their games. The wrong side of this, however, is the continuation of microtransactions which can lead to gambling which would lead to children’s parent's losing their money because they are spending it on weapon skins and clothing items for their character in a game.  That’s what I generally talked about for this project and how I did it ...

Revising writing

This week I had to read some readings detailing how to be good at reading and writing essays. They are listed below, which are Writing strong paragraphs. Paragraph structure This reading mainly focuses on what is a paragraph and how you go on writing one, and what not to put in a paragraph. This can quickly be done by splitting it up into three paragraphs such as the beginning, the middle and the end. A paragraph would usually be around 250 words that would mainly consist of approximately five or six sentences. The beginning section would usually consist of an idea which would have to be the critical information first before anything else and must be explained very clearly before moving onto the second paragraph. It is also known as the topic sentence. The second paragraph would mainly consist of explaining the idea that was first introduced by the topic sentence. Only this time, you would have to provide evidence of the concept and some examples and define why it is relevant. It is al...

Rewrite #3

Changes For this week, I have to rewrite my blog for the third time. Which blog? The Media ethics blog. It is currently one of the best blogs that I’ve written. Also, it has the most comments on it, which is around six comments with good positive reviews with one criticism saying that I should expand on my thoughts on the videos in the blog that I had to review on.  For the changes, if I’m going, to be honest, I haven’t changed anything much. I mean, in rewrite #2, I’ve made the necessary changes overall which there isn’t much that I can change. If it were another one of my blogs that I could make changes to, it would’ve been good. However, I can only think of two changes that I can change, and they are: Fonts:  I never really have used any of the fonts here, so I thought, why not and mess around with fonts to see if I can find what I like and will probably use the one that I will like.  Subheadings: I have added subheadings already, but the only difference that I’ve made...
