Going through these reading assignments made me so incredibly excited for this class! I love reading and always have since I was a kid but I feel like since college I've really let that go. In case you couldn't tell from my choices above I absolutely love fairy tales. I've loved fairy tales for as long as I can remember. One of my earliest reading memories is this collection of fairy tales from various European countries that had these beautiful illustrations. I used to read that book every single week until the cover fell off. Ever since then I have had a deep love for fairy tales from all different cultures. While I enjoy myths and hero stories and the like, I am most excited for the fairy tale stories. In fact, there were so many interesting reading choices I had a really hard time deciding and I'm sure I'll read some more for an extra credit assignment!

Introduction to Meghan a ChemE Major

In case you couldn't tell from the incredibly boring title, I am not great at talking about myself. I always have a hard time deciding what actually makes me interesting or what people want to hear about me so I'll start with the basics. I am a senior chemical engineering major here at OU. I have three cats at home but they're a pretty new addition so I don't have any pictures yet (sad I know). I've always wanted a dog but my mom doesn't like them so here we are. I never tell anyone I'm from somewhere since my family has moved almost every three years since I can remember. To date I have lived in: Hazen, ND, Salt Lake City, UT, San Antonio, TX, Ardmore, OK, San Antonio, TX (again), Nashville, TN, Prosper, TX, and of course Norman, OK. Moving around so much gave me a lot of appreciation for new places and new people. I enjoy traveling and am not afraid to go somewhere new. After graduation, I will be moving to Memphis, TN to start my new job! (Photo...

Feedback Strategies

For this weeks information on feedback strategies I read Why Do So Many Managers Avoid Giving Praise and How to Give Feedback Without Sounding Like a Jer k. What I most like about these readings was the focus on the fact that negative feedback is not bad. In the managers giving praise article, it was interesting that so many of the workers did not relate whether or not the manager was giving honest feedback on the negative. They were mostly influenced by whether there was also positive praise. Positive feedback, even when it's smaller, is important because it allows the workers to see that their efforts are noticed and appreciated. The key to that is, as discussed in the second article, being sincere. The compliment sandwich is seen as false and people can tell they're being buttered up. Conversely, workers are willing to accept both positive and negative feedback when it is given in an honest way. I also thought it was interesting and a good idea in the second article how the...
