Week+4A

At the moment we are still focusing on the rubric. Andreas and I have finished the rubric, however, Salomi explained us that we should replace the negative feedback with more positive ones. We have used terms such as ‘poor’, ‘inefficient’ and ‘inadequate’ that could put down a student and discourage him/her. Georgia commented in class that sometimes directness and honesty is a mean to make students better. Furthermore, she said that negative comments respond to reality and that we shouldn’t be oversensitive. I partially agree with Georgia, sometimes students need to be put down in order to be challenged. However, I also believe that in some students negative comments may discourage them; therefore, a teacher should be careful and judge which student will be prompt to try more by negative feedback and who will not. Furthermore, a new column has been added concerning what we have done up to date; which in my opinion this will help all of us because it will guide us and help us to organise and accomplish our tasks.
