Today I hoped we could all talk about the intention of feedback. I wanted to think about how the intention changes based on the quality of the work. Each student had to write about how intention of feedback shifts for outstanding, mediocre, and bad work.

Intention of feedback on outstanding work:

taking things to the next level (getting published?)
to make a better connection with the audience
feedback (helps you) figure out why something is outstanding.

Intention of feedback for “bad” work
helps you figure out a different direction to go in
helps you know why the work is so bad
what can you do better?
should make you feel like working and rising to a challenge
