Week 8 Comments and Feedback

Comments and Feedback; Pixaby

Today I reflected and read back on all of the comments I have received and also given. 

I have mainly received comments on my project posts, which is very helpful because this is where we could use some more ideas and reviews on our work. By getting comments and feedback based on our project, it helps us to get even more ideas for our project. It is through some of the feedback that I have received that I have been able to further my game ideas, I have definitely been given some good suggestions from people in my comments that I have brought into my game. It is a good idea that we have had to comment on peoples blogs because a fresh pair of eyes is always useful, and other people will have ideas that you couldn't have come up with yourself.

Commenting on other peoples blogs hasn't been my strong point as it is something that I haven't done enough of throughout this process, but I am going to commit myself to doing it from now on, because I find it useful from getting peoples feedback so others might find it useful from getting mine. What I have found about commenting though is that it is quite hard to give negative feedback as I wouldn't want to make anyone feel bad, and from reading the comments I have received and also other peoples comments, I think most people feel like this as a lot of the comments can be very generic and nice. I think most people would just feel bad giving people negative feedback.

I have definitely learned more about people from reading their introduction blogs, fun facts about people that I maybe wouldn't have learned from talking to these people on a daily basis. I don't feel like my introduction blog tells a lot about me as a person, I more so wrote about stuff that was currently going on in my life, I didn't actually realise that other people would have access to our blogs then I was slightly embarrassed when I found out everyone in our course had access to this, as it was a bit cringe.

Going forward I definitely want to commit myself to commenting and giving feedback on more peoples blog, as it is a process that is useful for both me and the person who receives the feedback. The only thing I would change about my blog is my introduction, to make it a bit more relevant for people who visit my blog can get to know me better.
