TP Week 7 Discussion: It is likely that you recall some of... | Psychology

Research Requirement:

It is likely that you recall some of the positive and negative writing feedback that you have received throughout your academic career as a student. Maybe some comments were constructive and effective and others were not. What language was used in the feedback, and what color was the ink in which that feedback was presented? How did those comments and their presentation make you feel? In this week's Discussion, you consider feedback from both the student's and instructor's point of view. As an instructor, you will provide a great deal of feedback on students' writing. Take a moment to consider the style of feedback that you would like to provide: helpful and encouraging? Or firm with regard to grammar and format? Perhaps some other styles come to mind. How might your feedback style influence the self-efficacy and learning for the students who receive it? For this Discussion, review and study this week’s Learning Resources. Reflect on feedback that you have received on your writing. Think about the types of writing feedback that were positive and those that were negative. Consider your emotional reaction to the feedback in each case with regard to self-efficacy. Finally, think about three of the most important elements to providing feedback on writing assignments.   With these thoughts in mind: Post by Day 4 a brief description of both positive and negative writing feedback that you received. Then explain your emotional reaction to the feedback in each case with regard to self-efficacy. Finally, explain what you believe to be three of the most important elements to providing feedback on writing assignments and explain why they are important. Be sure to support your post with specific references to the Learning Resources. If you are using additional articles, be sure to provide full, APA-formatted citations for your references.
