Were you nervous about presenting your work?

I was quite nervous presenting my work, as I didn’t really know what kind of reaction I would get from the people around me. It didn’t help that I was also nervous, because I wasn’t even sure if I did the work correctly.

What kind of feedback did you get?

I got some positive feedback, on how I did describe my character. But also some negative feedback as I need to probably show a bit more, to properly convey on what I was doing etc.

Was the feedback useful?

The feedback was really useful. I learnt a lot on what I can improve, but I also learn how from the peers around and take criticism at heart.

What is most difficult about the process and why?

The most difficult of giving feedback using the debono thinking hats were when I was on the green hat. Especially when a product was pretty good, sometimes its hard to give an alternative.

How might you get better at this hat system over time?

The only way I see about getting better with the hat system over time, is use it more. Because the more we use it, the better understanding we have with it. This just apply in class, we can use it in our daily lives. But it does force us to be critical.

What might be a good way to separate the moments of receiving feedback and actually evaluating it and doing something with it?

Best way to separate the moments, is take criticism to heart and listen to the negatives. Use the negatives to improve yourself. Same goes for positive feedback. Don’t be satisfied with your positive, push your strong aspect even further and improve upon it.

Is it worth reflecting on the feedback both close to the experience and bit further on?

It definitely worth reflecting on feedback, because feedback is what helps us grow and improve.
