Hi Guys, Welcome back to my blog, today I will be talking about comments & feedback as it is review week! Looking over the comments I have been given from my fellow classmates they have been very helpful, they have given me suggestions which I have taken and put into action, they have also given me advice on there thoughts of my game and everyone seems excited to see my final product which in a way is good but also quite scary in case it all goes wrong and the game isn't even playable! 🙈 But overall I do think getting feedback from people whether it is good or bad is very important in this assignment process as I like to see peoples options on my game. The only thing I will say is sometimes when people give me feedback it is not very clear and can be quite confusing to understand where they are coming from with the comments they have made. But overall I am happy with everything else that people have commented on! https://uxplanet.org/real-world-vs-lab-feedback...

Hi Guys,  Welcome back to my blog, today I will be talking again about feedback. I have read two articles about different feedback strategies that I would like to share with you.  The first article I have read is The Trouble With The Word "Amazing"   I found this article very interesting as I myself am one for saying something is amazing when it really isn't. It seems to be a word that a lot of us use to praise someone for something they have done rather than actually giving the right feedback. The author Jennifer Gonzalez is right when she says that she can never understand why people say something is amazing when its not. In the last paragraph of the article she mentions about her gym teacher is giving positive feedback but not telling her that she is amazing as her gym teacher wants her to improve which personally I think is better feedback then saying "your doing amazing" when she wasn't. https://www.cultofpedagogy.com/the-trouble-with-amazi...

Hi Guys, Today I will be writing my blog post on my thoughts about feedback. I have read two artciles to do with feedback. https://makeameme.org/meme/brace-yourself-feedback-1v7zch The first article I read was " Why rejection hurts so much and what do about it" -  https://ideas.ted.com/why-rejection-hurts-so-much-and-what-to-do-about-it/ . I found this article so interesting as it has made me more aware of what I have been feeling and I didn't even realize what was causing it. What I have learnt is that our brains are wired to respond in this, the feeling of wanting to be accepted in society. As a person I am so hard on myself as I always want to be the best I can be but by doing that I try to hard and when i'm left rejected I feel horrible about myself which is not good for my self esteem. What I have learnt from this is that everyone is going to be rejected in life but its about how you overcome this rejection and how you can deal with it. The second ar...
