Can I adapt?

Feedback can vary widely in its content and delivery. Sometimes it’s hard to extract how to improve. Perhaps we’re only told that we went down the wrong path, and we have to continue the conversation to clarify
and identify next steps.

After the video, you’ll have a chance to share with the group a reflection on how it relates to your own experiences. As you watch, what resonates with you? 

On your web site, create a new reflection entry. You may choose whether to use a written (1-3 paragraphs) or recorded (1-3 minute audio/video) format.

1. Reflect on how feedback from others can help us move through the self-regulated feedback cycle, if we can receive it effectively. Use these prompts (and concrete examples if possible) to guide your reflection:

• While there might be feedback that we have to leave on the table, those who are in a position to give us feedback (an instructor, peer, or supervisor) usually have something constructive to offer. How do we not let the fear of receiving feedback or the sting of difficult feedback keep us from improving our work? 

• What strategies can you use to unpack feedback to gain more information about which parts of our plan are strong and which could benefit from revision?
