    1. Your “best feedback” did seem really thoughtful and kind, but it also was good advice. I also like how you had referenced that their background was peaceful. I also think it is so cool that someone was able to French braid because of your video and that is definitely assuring that your video was clear. Good job with the page, I think your selections and reasonings were very thoughtful.

    2. I liked how in your best feedback you mentioned how you also had to improve in certain areas too because I also agree that it is good to hear that others are having similar struggles. I think you do a very good job of not sounding critical whatsoever while still giving meaningful feedback. Overall, I think your page is great and I really like the examples you chose.

    1. Hi Julienne, I found your comments about always providing positive elements in your feedback first similar to my method. I then try to find some constructive advice that the speaker could use to improve. I also find that if I can offer some encouragement or praise in my last statement, that might motivate the speaker, as well as let them know that I am on their side and rooting for their success.

    2. Hi Julienne, I really enjoyed reading your best advice. I think it is awesome that you were able to add something to your peer’s speech. This might help them make their speech longer if they did not hit the three minute mark. Also, it is helpful to hear someone tell you what you might be missing that seems obvious to the speaker. I agree that adding positive remarks along with constructive feedback is beneficial.

    1. Hi Fiona,

      When you were reflecting on the best feedback you’ve received, I liked how you highlighted how this particular instance of feedback helped shape some of your approach to speech-making. Specifically, outlining and how it has helped elevate the order and flow of your speech. I thought that was really well said, and I definitely feel the same way of how outlining has also improved my speech-making for the better!

    2. I really liked how you included specific suggestions in your feedback to your peer. It’s always helpful to have distinct examples of how to improve, like limiting the word “um”. I agree with your thoughts about making an outline. I found that organization has really improved my speeches.

    3. I’m so glad my feedback helped! I think you are a good public speaker, and the way you reflect on advice given and received shows how much this means to you. It is really interesting how one piece of advice can help shape further speeches, even though it was about one event. It’s important to recognize how advice can apply to multiple places, and you do a great job of being able to move forward with advice.

    4. This was a very detailed and honest page you created! I really like your ability to give others such specific and helpful feedback, while also being able to learn from the feedback you are given. I also liked how you acknowledged that you use the feedback you are given and try to apply it to all your future speeches. It is very important to carry your strengths onto your next speech and to learn from those offering you feedback.

    5. Hi Fiona,

      The part where you were reflecting on the best advice someone has given to you resonated with me because I can have a hard time making consistent eye contact too which I think is really important to grab the audience’s attention. And I also agree with the fact that you value outlining because it can be really hard to make eye contact if you don’t have a good outline to help you along.

    1. Hi Sam, I’m so happy that you were able to benefit from some of my advice for your speech! I am also glad that when I provided you with some constructive items you were able to acknowledge them yourself and then take the steps to try to improve. I have found it to be a difficult process to acknowledge other’s advice, but in the end, it is worth it since the final product is always better than the first try.

    2. Hi Sam,

      I would like to back up the feedback you chose as your best advice. The suggestion of adjusting my camera was well received, and by changing the camera so that my face was in the shot, I think my speech improved tenfold. With that, your response was well written, friendly, concise and constructive, it really helped me out when setting up for the final version of my speech!

    3. I agree with the other comments, your reflection was very honest and I admire your ability to receive and learn from your peers’ comments. The advice you gave to your classmate was very good as well, being able to see the entire speaker is important and often not easily noticed by the person who is giving the speech. Really good job!

    1. I thought your best advice given was good, it was thoughtful and added a nice easy fix for the speaker to include in their final draft. I also think your best advice from a peer was really good. It can be very eyeopening to have a peer notice something like filler words that you never noticed before. I think it is cool how you really were mindful of your use of filler words when you filmed your final draft.

    2. Hi Nick,

      On the ‘Why it’s my best advice,’ I thought that you brought up an important mistake that we all make when speaking…filler words. I think it’s extremely important to cut down on filler words like “like” or “umm” when speaking because if they are used too much, it can make following what the speaker is saying a bit harder because of all of those filler words in the way of the actual point. You show great awareness to realize that you might be using those words in other settings too.

    1. The feedback you provided was great because you provided possible methods to address the timing issue in your peers speech. Through reading your feedback, it’s clear you are genuinely trying to help your peers improve. I agree that receiving constructive and encouraging feedback can make such a difference because it’s easier to take in and make adjustments.

    2. Hi Candace! I am so glad that I was able to help you out on the speech with the feedback I gave you. I really liked how you even said yourself that I did it in a constructive and encouraging way because truly I like to give good beneficial feedback if that means helping my classmates’ grades. I also agree with the feedback you thought was the best that you gave, you do a nice job with suggestions.

    3. I love that your best advice was to me! I thought your advice was very helpful and I used your tip of how to time out my speech. I rehearsed like you said and figured out how how to time my speech so it flowed and hit the time mark. I also like how you started off my telling me what you thought I did good, that made me feel good about my speech so the advice didn’t seem as harsh, (even though it wasn’t harsh!) but if it was starting off my complimenting someone is a great idea.

    1. Hey Reese, I clearly also thought that your advice was great because I mentioned it in my site haha. I thought it was interesting how both your best advice you’ve given and the best advice you’d received had to do with delivery and tone in speech. I think it shows that you have learned how to better your tone as well as point out how others should improve upon their delivery as well whereas earlier in the semester you may have not noticed details like that.

    2. Hi Reese, I really enjoyed reading your best advice from one of your peers. I found it interesting that the peer mentioned being more conversational while presenting. I feel like sometimes stress and anxiety over presenting can put a damper on the style of speech a person may want. I think it is really awesome that you were able to learn from the feedback you got. I bet it made a huge change in your other speeches.

      1. I really liked your example for the best advise you received. I like how you said you still think about this advice, that means it was good advice! I also feel like I have an issue with talking to the camera because it defiantly doesn’t feel natural and I too feel robotic. I am going to use your advice of pretending like you’re just talking to your friend and see if that helps me! It can also feel robotic because we’re suppose to have an outline and rehearse so after that it’s hard for our speeches to be natural.

    1. The way you reflect on advice is definitely insightful. Emoting through a video can be difficult, especially if speeches aren’t your favorite weekend activity to begin with. You definitely acknowledge how you went about using that advice, which shows that you were able to take it to heart and use it well!

  1. Hi Henry! I like how your best advice was for me. Your advice really helped me realize what more I could add to my speech, especially personal stories about my mom or special memories. I really struggled with timing on this rough draft, so it was helpful to receive this kind of feedback and what content I should work on. Thanks again!

    1. Hey Wylie! I thought that piece of advice you had given me was very helpful because I had not realized how much I had used those filler words all the time and you did help by saying that it is something that a lot of people struggle with. I had thought about that and it did really help me clean up for my final video. I also love that my piece of advice for your coffee video helped you get to the limit on the video. I’m also happy I could make your day!

    1. I am so glad that my piece of advice about that touchy subject was so helpful to you! It is so tricky to be able to talk about someone that was so near and dear to you. I like that you were able to understand that its tough to give feedback on something like that and I did my absolute best to help you, but also to be respectful to you at the same time. (Meant to post it here instead of as a new thread)
