Week 8 Comments and Feedback

Feedback In
I love the comments I get! Each one is very positive but constructive at the same time. I love reading the comments because sometimes I get suggestions that are very specific as to what could be changed to make my stories and website layout better, which is great to read because there is always room for improvement :) It is also helpful to get that extra set of eyes to tell me if any part of my story is confusing, because if it is to one person, chances are other people will be confused about the same thing. This allows me to look at my post again and clarify some things.

Feedback Out
I also love reading other people's stories and seeing their layouts! I definitely do take inspiration from other stories and other layouts, because everyone has a different perspective on the readings. It's nice to see the different writing styles and if I can think of enough to write with a particular style of writing or a particular theme, I'd like to do it. Sometimes reading others' stories helps me see how to approach writing in a different style or what kinds of story endings leave the best impact. 

Blog Comments
I do enjoy reading introductions and getting comments on my own just because I didn't realize how many things I have in common with others, even though we are all from different places and have different majors. I feel like it's hard getting to know people solely over blog posts and comments just because I don't know what anyone looks like really and sometimes I forget what posts I have already  commented on. However, I can say that this class's introduction blog posts are way more interactive than any other class I've taken so far. Online classes usually require you to introduce yourself on the class discussion page, but honestly not a lot of people actually read those. In this class, it is part of our assignments to read everyone's introductions, so I actually like it a lot :) 

Looking Forward
I plan on changing a few things around in my blog as well as my portfolio due to some of the comments I have received. They have been good comments and I'm glad I got these suggestions because I'm always looking for ways to improve my writing and design layout. When I give feedback, I usually tend to comment on the story material itself, but I think I should also give suggeestions on the person's blog layout as well, so they can make it as appealing as possible for others, not just people in our class!

Source: I chose this picture because I think it's really important to not let criticism, no matter what kind, lower your confidence or self-esteem at all. Feedback is supposed to be helpful, and even if you get suggestions that you don't particularly agree with, it's important to keep an open mind and realize that you cannot please everybody at the same time. If you are happy with the project, that's all that matters!
