Critiques:
Critiques are a crucial part of learning. During critiques, the instructor and
students will offer feedback on your work. The following rules apply to
critiques.
1.
Be respectful!
2.
Give positive and negative feedback. Positive feedback is important to learn
what is working and to build confidence. Negative feedback is important
because we cannot improve without it. All negative feedback should be as
constructive as possible.
3.
When receiving a critique, keep an open mind and don’t get defensive.
Remember, no one is attacking you or your work. The goal is to learn. You
cannot learn with a closed mind or defensive attitude.
