Feedback Strategies

The first article I read was Preschoolers and Praise: What Kinds of Messages Help Kids Grow?. The article was similar to the articles I read last week as it also referenced growth mindset. I found this article particularly interesting as it showed how important words and positivity is for the development of children. Being a psychology major and having taken classes such as developmental psychology, I have some knowledge of how the human mind and psych begins and develops. I think sometimes we do not realize how malleable the minds and brains of children are, and how impactful words or events can have on their future. I appreciated how the article highlighted the importance of growth mindset from a very early age. The second article I read was How to Give Bad Feedback Without Being a Jerk. This also reminded me of the articles I read for growth mindset as it gave clear ways to improve delivering feedback. Often giving feedback can be as difficult as receiving feedback. Personally, I might not look forward to giving critical feedback because of how a person may react or view me as being unfair or mean. I think it is important that we all know how to communicate criticism or advice effectively as often the communication style can be more detrimental than the feedback itself.

Week 14: More Jataka Tales Part B

For Part B of Week 14 reading, I continued the Jataka Tales. Specifically for the week I read The Elephant and the Dog. What really sparked my interest to read the story was the title. As a fan of dogs and knowing the importance of elephants in Indian culture, I was curious to see how the two animals interacted in the story, and I was definitely not disappointed. I loved the heartwarming story of the dog and elephant's friendship and how they needed each other to live. It is always surprising to me how animals from different species are able to form friendships, but I think it highlights how even in animals, love and friendship has no boundary. If I were to retell the story, I would probably add a personal touch such as replacing the dog with my own dog, Max. He is a German Shepherd who loves to hang out with other dogs, so I think he quickly make friends with the elephant. Additionally, I think adding dialogue between the two animals could help showcase their friendship and add m...

Nice to meet you, my name is Neal

Wow. It is crazy to think that I am already back in Norman for my senior year. While my first threes years were full of unique experiences, I never would have imagined all of these recent events occurring. Although it has been a struggle to get through the pandemic, as I am sure everyone can agree with, I am looking forward to completing my senior year and pursuing my future. To start off, I am psychology major on the pre medicine track. Ever since I took psychology in high school I found studying the mind and the way people act so interesting. However, I always had the goal of becoming a physician which explains the pre-med track. Although I am an OU student, I still consider myself a proud Texan. I come from a relatively small town in East Texas where high school football is king and perhaps the most famous thing is that Matthew Mccounaughey graduated from my high school (he even came to our high school graduation this year to give a speech!).
