Peer review #2
Ah! peer review, why is
it so hard? This is the second time in my “Introduction to Digital Media”
module that we have been given the task of reviewing our fellow students' blog
posts. I am still not fully comfortable commenting on other students' blogs, I
struggle to find anything negative to say because when you think of feedback
you automatically think it is going to be a criticism of someone else’s arduous
work. We are learning through our prescribed reading’s this week that feedback should
not come across as a negative thing. We learned about the “SPARK” method.
·
Specific:
Our comments should be linked to a phrase, sentence, or word.
·
Prescriptive:
We should offer a solution or suggestion to help improve their work.
·
Actionable:
Your fellow student should know what they need to change to improve.
·
Referenced:
Your feedback is direct and concise referencing the tasks or requirements.
·
Kind: The
comments should be kind and supportive.
This method is particularly
useful to follow as it gives you tips and guidance to help you with the task of
giving “Feedforward,” nobody wants to hear that they have not done a decent job
on something and if given the time and the chance to improve on your work most
students will be happy to rewrite their blogs.
Even though I am not
completely happy doing reviews on other student’s blogs, I can see why we need
to do them. We only truly learn new things when we push ourselves outside of
our comfort zones. I also know that when it comes to the time that I must
rewrite my own blog it is incredibly useful to have some comments and feedback
from my fellow students. It gives you a fresh outlook on your blog and we can
all learn new things from each other. Every day is a learning day!
The two blogs I have reviewed
are:
