Week 8 Comments and Feedback

I really appreciate the feedback that I have received so far in this class. The comments that are most helpful to me are the ones that point out mistakes or suggest things that I didn't notice while writing. Not only does it give me an idea of how to improve the stories that I have already written, but also help me think of things to incorporate in future stories.

The more I learn about different feedback strategies, the better feedback I am able to give. The WWW really helps me to focus and give in-depth comments that are hopefully helpful. I've learned that giving feedback is not just about giving blind compliments on everything that I read.

I do think that the blogs and introduction posts are a good way for our class to get to know each other. My introduction post really represents some of the most important things about me. I am happy with out it turned out.

Looking forward, I do want to focus a little bit more on giving specific suggestions in my feedback and comments. I also want to work on being more open to trying out some of the things that are suggested to me through feedback.

Personal image of myself. Anyway, there are a lot of things that are important to know about me. I am studying public relations. I have an adorable dog named Maggie (see image below), and I am obsessed with Gilmore Girls. Most aspects of my life all come back to one thing though, and that is my love of food. Personal image. My Pomeranian, Maggie.  I have the strong belief that food can bring people together and bring out the best in them. Some of my favorite childhood memories took place at various family holiday meals. Food has also been one way that I can experience parts of other cultures without traveling far from home. Different dishes serve as different reminders of certain people or moments. The practice of sharing a meal with someone is almost a sacred act to me, an...
