Feedback

Honestly, I can remember one instance where I received feedback that I actually utilized. It was last the semester, the first time I attempted this class, I was told by the reader about my word usage, and how I tend to say things without a direct focus, for instance, saying something along the lines of "times such as these" as opposed to "this time." My interpretation pieces tend to be poetic and opinionated as opposed to thought-provoking and factual. Also he stated that my sentences were often too short, and I should look into the usage of commas and semi-colons. And since then I have taken more care toward my writing and notice how it would sound to the reader and not just myself. So essentially the feedback was effective, once. I would prefer feedback that states how my essay was a brilliant masterpiece, but who wouldn't?? As far as effectual feedback, specific details and examples throughout the paper are the most helpful. When someone can circle and add words in pen to your typed up piece, so that you can physically see what the evaluator is trying to tell you, is much more helpful than reading a list through a questionnaire.
