I feel as if assignment 2 for English 250 feedback was very negative. I understand that my summary was not exactly the professional level that Victor Santos is seeking yet I feel as if I have only seen things that went wrong in my paper and others in the classes paper. I guess I'm not at all the level of writing that I thought that I was. It's a complete disappointment and I got the assumption that everything that I did in my paper was a weakness, and I believe that now than ever I have no strengths when writing a paper.
I wish I had my old english professor so she could at least give me positive and constructive criticism so that I'm not afraid to ask questions and I'm not cut to the core saying my entire paper is a fail. As much as we are told that our paper was a disappointment the feedback seemed to meet the same level of that expectation.
Dear Shay,
ReplyDeleteI am sorry to hear you were so disappointment. I always try to give both positive and negative feedback to my students and many of your classmates will confirm that.
You should never be afraid of asking anything during class, since I want our class to be a very open channel of conversation.
Be sure that I make comments to make your improve and that I have your best interests at heart. I want to you to develop.
I am not a fan of people patting me on the back and saying that things are fine when they are not.
I am sure your previous English teacher was great. Many of us are. The feedback I got from my students last semester was quite positive and many are my Facebook friends today. However, I know it's hard to please everyone, that's for sure.
I hope that with time you won't regret too much having me as your teacher! :) That's what I truly hope.
* disappointment should be disappointed
ReplyDeleteVictor-
ReplyDeleteI truly appreciate you caring about us as your students. I'm just trying to be as real as you are with us. I think it is very important when asking for feedback to be honest. I do not think that you are a bad teacher by any means. I just have some things I need to change to be successful in your class. I think being more clear in what you are asking for will tremendously help me in English 250, as I can tell by starting my paper for assignment 3 I understand the task at hand.
Thanks
