My Take on Feedback Strategies

The two articles I read about feedback strategies were: Try Feedforward Instead of Feedback by Marshall Goldsmith and Be a Mirror: Give Readers Feedback That Fosters a Growth Mindset by Gravity Goldberg. When I saw the term "feedforward," I assumed it would be similar to feedback. However, feedforward and feedback are two completely different concepts. These two articles were so fascinating to read as actual studies have been conducted to show the value of feedforward. The main thing I took away from feedforward was "future." Instead of focusing on what someone did wrong in the past, feedforward gives recommendations for the future. This ultimately, helps them improve in the future and focuses on the process. It provides solutions to their problems, and it is up to them if they want to use those solutions. At school and work especially, feedforward would enable growth and a growth mindset. Since I worked at a tutoring center, KUMON, I feel confident in giving people useful feedback. Instead of pointing out all the corrections the students had to fix, I focused on what they could do next time to understand the material. This is turn would help reduce their corrections. After reading these articles, I want to learn how to use negative feedback to my benefit. This could help me make positive changes in the long term! Hopefully, I am able to provide valuable feedforward to my peers!

Introduction to a Physician Assistant

Hi everyone! My name is Avani Patel, and I am a sophomore. I am majoring in Biology with the hopes of becoming a Physician Assistant.  I choose Biology as my major especially because of its versatility and because of my interest in the sciences. With Biology, I am able to learn the traditional side of the science, and the major itself is incredibly rigorous as it entails complex material and courses. Becoming a Physician Assistant is my goal, but I am still hesitant and unsure. As you can see, I am indecisive. Although this is the case, I am a very diligent student once I set my mind to something. This last year I was able to maintain a 4.0 GPA and obtain junior standing! In my free time, I love watching movies and sleeping! Netflix is something I am always on. My favorite shows right now are Grey's Anatomy, How to Get Away with Murder, and Patriot Act with Hasan Minhaj. This summer, I was able to do both - watch movies and sleep! My family and I also went to Texas, Arkansas, a

Week 7 Story: The Rice and The Man

Image
( The Broken Pot by John D. Batten) The updated version of the story is here on my Portfolio! In a small village in Gujarat, India, there lived a man named Vittap. His name evidently signified his behavior; he guarded his wealth closely.  One day, Vittap had gathered a surplus amount of rice grains from working in his neighbor's fields and begging in the village. Growing rice was no easy task. After eating the rice that same evening, Vittap put the remaining rice in a pot. The pot was hung over his couch so that he could bathe in its glory.  As Vittap became drowsy, he dreamed about his future with the rice. He thought, "My beautiful rice. Oh, how beautiful! If there is a famine, I will always have my rice. Wait, can the rice not make me some profit?" "I can buy a few goats with the rice and eventually have a family of goats!" "I can then sell the goats, and get a couple of cows!" "I can then sell cow milk and purc
