In Class: Experience with in Class Workshops
My experience with in class workshops has been mostly positive. I like the idea of getting feedback on my work and hearing what other people say about my writing. I think constructive criticism is awesome and I think good writers need to be open to other people's ideas. However, I hate getting feedback from people who don't know what they are talking about. I like to take other people's perspectives into mind, but I don't always go with everyone's advice if they are not credible. For example, if Amanda had a suggestion to make about my paper I would gladly welcome the feedback, but if my little brother had some writing tips I would probably just ignore them.

I feel the same way you do about this, it's frustrating when you feel that people don't know what they are talking about and give you feedback you don't agree with. One thing I don't enjoy about in class workshops is if my good friends are evaluating my paper because I don't want my friends judging me, whereas if a complete stranger is that bugs me less.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you to a great extend. I also believe constructive criticism is great. I took Amanda's class last year too. And the experience was mostly good. So, let's hope for the best.
