Week 3 Feedback Strategies

Feedback Quote By Ken Blanchard

For this assignment, the first article I chose was "How to Give Feedback Without Sounding Like A Jerk". I chose this specifically because I know from personal experience this is a small difficulty. I have found that switching the wording of the question you're using for feedback or even your tone (if in person) can really help! One thing the article pointed out that I like most was how most people tend to gloss over the middle of a conversation so its best to give positive feedback at the beginning and end. Another big part mentioned was to engage in dialogue and not a manipulative monologue. I feel this helps tremendously over online situations cause even though the two aren't present for real conversation, one can be actively made allowing free and easy feedback. The second article I chose was "Why Do So Many Managers Avoid Giving Praise" mainly because of my work environment. There are specific supervisors we employees know to expect negative feedback from and then those who really don't give either. The article pointed out how most are usually just to nervous to give the feedback needed. I could/do see this but I also believe that coupling a negative with a positive definitely helps!

The Introduction of Me!! 

Pomsky  By Kaelin Tully  Hi guys, I’m Crystel Fields! I am from Tulsa, Oklahoma and currently a super-senior (last year…woo!) majoring in Microbiology. I know what you are wondering...“Whoa, are you Pre -Med or something?”, yes I am! I chose my major not only because of it having a vast majority of the classes need to apply to medical school, but because I truly find it interesting. I love microscopic work and being able to identify what a certain bacterium is. Furthermore, I also really enjoy having the ability to work through and diagnose patients with various conditions like in a class I am currently taking called Medical Microbiology. I hope to go on to medical school within a year to become a surgeon, not sure on specific practice yet. Anyways, enough about school ha-ha, in my free time I like to do a little of everything: hangout with friends, read, craft, and of course attend OU football games! My time with friends could be spent doing anything from just staying inside

Week 4 Story: Hannah the Hedgehog

Hannah the Hedgehog THERE was once a countryman who had money and plenty of land but yet he was unhappy for he had no children. One day he became so upset he said, "I will have a child, even if it be a hedgehog." However when his wife conceived that hedgehog child, the man was still unhappy. Hannah the Hedgehog saw daily how unhappy her parents were to have her and thought of an idea. "Dear father, I will ride away and never come back again only if you bring me a fiddle from the market." The father rushed off to get a fiddle and not only did he get any old fiddle, but the very best one in hopes this would make the child stay away. Hannah took the fiddle and left as she had promised for that's all she had. She went deep into the forest and managed to find home in a mulberry bush where she played her fiddle day in and day out. One day a lost King came stumbling through the forest and heard the music. He was astonished at the sound and sent a serva
