###    But that’s embarrassing! Everyone can see that post!  expand\_more  

 The instructors of this course believe you learn best from **constant focused revision** and that a practice of giving and receiving specific actionable feedback is one of the best ways to learn and grow as a community. We make lots of mistakes, and try to keep them as public as possible so that others can learn and grow from our experiences. You learn most by revising tasks based on feedback - so we hope everyone submits tasks more than once.

 



 

 

 



###    What if I don’t receive points for an assignment?  expand\_more  

 You will get feedback if you need to re-submit an assignment. This will be posted as a response to the actual post. One of the instructors will indicate that you did not receive points, why not, and what you need to reflect on or change to receive the points for that assignment. Then you will need to re-post the edited task in the next posting period.

 



 

 

 



###    OMG! The grade center says I have 20 out of 250 possible points. What did I do wrong?!?!  expand\_more  

 The grade center isn’t structured for this kind of a points system, so it will always say your points are out of a possible number that is very high. You should just focus on the points you have and remember that you need 100 points.

 



 

 

 



###    How do I give feedback?  expand\_more  

 Following the instructions in the feedback section, respond to each post that requests peer feedback (or your own request for self-feedback) using the ladder of feedback. Find those by looking through the folder for people requesting peer feedback.

 We recommend you look at assignments you have not already completed when giving feedback so that you can get a sense of the other assignments, and learn something new.

 When giving feedback, feel free to reference [these instructions](/peer-feedback) for a step by step process.

 



 

 

 



###    When will I get feedback?  expand\_more  

 You should receive feedback within 1 week of the close of the posting period.

 



 

 

 



###    How will I everyone know the kind of feedback I want without opening every assignment?  expand\_more  

 Their feedback preferences should be on each task slide; check to make sure they want peer feedback before commenting!

 



 

 

 



###    What should I include on the slide for my personalized tasks?  expand\_more  

 In addition to the linked assignment, all task slides must include the following information, numbered as indicated here:

1. The Name of the Assignment (1R, 2T, 3C, etc) as **the title** of the slide and answers to the following questions: 
    1. The number of points the assignment is worth (5, 10, or 15 points) what kind of feedback you would like (Teacher, Peer, or Self)
    2. The type of thinking that you did to complete this assignment. (See [Ron Ritchhart's “Seven Types of Thinking”](http://www.alled.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/step_by_step_structured_choice.pdf) for examples)
    3. What you learned or your most significant take away from the assignment.
    4. To learn more, what might your next steps be?

 



 

 

 



###    How will I know if I have gotten the points for that assignment?  expand\_more  

 Check the grade center for your points in Canvas.

 



 

 

 



###    When will I get my points by?  expand\_more  

 You should get your points for the work completed in a given posting period by one week from the close of the posting period. 



 

 

 



###    Should I also include the title of the assignment I did?  expand\_more  

 The only thing that absolutely needs to be on your slide for the assignment is the Title of the task (ie. 3T, 4P, 1C, etc). If you would like to put additional labels on your slide show, that's fine, just make sure we know which task you did!

 



 

 

 



###    Should I include related student materials?  expand\_more  

 Yes! Please attach your assignment as a word document (or comparable) to the Slide. 



 

 

 



###    Where are the Personalized Task Materials?  expand\_more  

 All materials are linked on the individual task pages.
