Date of feedback conversation: May 8th, 2018
I thought about how our project went in general and how we worked together to overcome the challenges the project presented.
This conversation was very easy, because we truly had a smooth and productive partnership throughout the week working on gametime. I felt grateful to have had a motivated and productive partner on the project.
I tried to be specific about how and why we had been successful, sighting our clear communication and willingness to put in the necessary work to be successful. I made actionable recommendations goin foward about avoiding last minute added features, something we both agreed on.
Sometimes it's hard to give people constructive criticism because you don't want to hurt their feelings. I try to be direct but tactfull in giving feedback. Building the skills to give effective feedback, and maintaing a positive and respectful professional relationships is important, and something I will continue to practice.
I feel like I'm relatively good at giving feedback, but could still improve. Practicing at turing has helped me choose my words when giving and receiving feedback, and also lead me to become more aware of more subtle and nonverbal communication.
