1. Overall, I feel the feedback from other students is really helpful in terms of helping me shape and mold my writing. I think it is really helpful when students tell me what more they would like to so, or what they really liked about my writing because then I can focus on making those changes or continue to see what styles of writing are stronger for me. I do appreciate constructive feedback as well, because I know that the only way to get better at writing is being told some of my weaknesses!

2. I really like to focus on what things someone does really well in their writing. This also allows writers to see where they flourish the most. I also do include some minor constructive feedback like maybe a better formatting style, or a better page layout just to help strengthen writing overall. I do, however, want to get to a point where I am able to give feedback on more sentence structure or grammar because I know just by Dr. Gibbs comments that I have so much work to do in that area in my own project haha!

3. I really like the random generator to make blog comments, because then I'm not having to pick and choose or being assigned a person. However, I do feel like I still haven't gotten around to everyone in the class, so I hope to visit each person's page at least twice before the end of the semester. The introduction of the blog comments is my favorite part. I love learning about other people and their hobbies, desires, and goals.

4. In the future, I think I need to really make more detailed notes as I read other students posts so that I can give even more helpful feedback. Maybe reading more feedback assignments might help to see what to look for when reading another piece of writing that isn't my own.

5. Finally, I chose the image above because I love how it expresses the true meaning of feedback. Feedback, whether it's positive or constructive, is all a part of the growth process. Yes, we should be confident in ourselves, but we should also be open to feedback! I think feedback has such great value, and being able to put the use of feedback in this class is my favorite part.
