Week 8 Progress

Looking Back 

 Looking at the progress chart I am on track to get the A I was hoping to get in this class. I definitely dropped off on the extra credit reading I wanted to accomplish. This is not a total surprise as I tend to get busy in the middle of the semester and things drop off. I am really glad that I am a week ahead in all assignments as that was my goal all along. I definitely enjoy the readings the most. Mostly I'm proud of how far I have come in my writing. It's been so long since I had done any creative writing and I am pleasantly surprised by how I've done.

Looking Forward

 For the coming weeks, I would definitely like to stop heavy loading this class on two days of the week. I'm hopeful that I can try and spread the assignments out more reasonably throughout the week. I would also like to become more confident in my dialogue writing skills. Since I am unsure of that aspect of writing I mostly try and avoid it. Especially in my storybook, I would like to try and write more dialogue that comes across naturally.

    Hey Meghan,

    It was great to come across your progress post in the blog stream. It is awesome that you are progressing nicely and are on track to receive the grade you want. Staying a week ahead is definitely a great goal for finishing early. I hope you finish strong and have a great second half of the semester.

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...
