Pick one concept from the assigned reading, not
already discussed, that you found useful or interesting and discuss it.
I thought that the topic of
feedbacks was interesting because I can totally imagine how feedbacks play out
in small group communication. I believe that in a group setting feedbacks are
important. By saying something reassuring to the speaker can boost the
speaker’s confidence within the group. Another reason why it is important is
because feedback can help improve or expand the idea. For example, by
commenting on someone’s idea the author of the idea can take the comment and
grow their original idea.
Also by having another
person’s opinion on the topic can help the author realize if he or she is going
in the right direction. I remember that there are times in groups where I do
not know what I am doing and I do what I think I am suppose to do early because
I wanted feedback from other people. They will then tell me whether or not I did
my task right. I also love getting feedbacks on my papers. Feedbacks also give
a good discussion topic going within the group, giving the group more chances
to communicate with each other. Good or bad feedback, it is always better than
no feedback.
Although I am terrified of the feedback I get on papers, I love to give and receive feedback vocally. When someone is talking I like to nod my head to what they’re saying if I understand or agree with it. If I don’t understand or agree with it, I’ll ask them questions. I like to do this to encourage them and let them know I’m listening. Feedback is very important. Without it the group may continue along with unsolved issues which will escalate. Having no feedback is pretty much like having no communication. You won’t know what your other group members are thinking and feeling.
