Feedback write-up
This assignment requires that you provide and receive feedback among yourselves in the group as a teaching and learning exercise.
NOTE: When it is time to submit your final Journal at the end of term, you will only include the original, then what you wrote to them, so that your comments make sense in context..DIRECTIONS.
>HOW MUCH. The total of your comments (interspersed) should be 300 words (or the equivalent of a half page, single-spaced)
>TO WHO. One feedback to each person in your group. This is sent only to the specific person--others in the group need not know what you're saying in your feedbacks. You decide the order (which person you want to start with) until you have given feedback one time to each person in your group.
>ABOUT WHAT. You decide which of your group member's write-ups you want to select to prepare a response but vary them (do not always use the same journal topic submitted to provide feedback thus to expand the scope of your analysis).
>HOW. Take the email write-up copy of what you received from the student you have selected, and insert your comments in context (i.e., in between the lines or paragraphs of the original) in either a different color font or with italics so your comments stand out.
>RETAIN. Keep a copy of this feedback page yourself because at the end of the term you will be submitting everything you wrote (not what others sent to you because that would make multiple copies of the same thing being submitted).
>FEEDBACK CONTENT. Do not be overly negative or profusely positive; strike a balanced assessment to help your fellow student improve their ability to communicate through writing. Your write-up should be in paragraph form, and should address the following items that divide between form & content:
>What is an area that they could improve to be more effective communicators in terms of form (what and how it is written)?
>What is the greatest strength from the other student's write-up? What works well about their writing (form assessment)?
>Did you more-so agree/disagree with their assessment (content assessment)?
>What is an area that they could improve to be more effective communicators in terms of content (the substance of their points)?
