On Giving and Receiving Feedback

Giving Feedback
  • Try to understand creators' intentions
  • Start with the positive
  • Communicate what you saw and heard
  • Identify problems; don't give solutions
  • Be specific, direct and courteous
  • Wait your turn, give others the floor

Receiving Feedback
  • Come prepared, bring legible materials
  • Briefly give context for the scene/song
  • Communicate the type of feedback you want
  • Listen actively but quietly
  • Use feedback time to get feedback; don't refute or defend
  • Take notes to review later
  • Ask for clarification if needed; ask if others agree with feedback
