First, you will read these two articles: "The Delicate Art of Giving Feedback (Links to an external site.)" and "How to Give Constructive Feedback (Links to an external site.)". Note that both articles are referring to both feedback on drafts and feedback on employee performance.

Then, after you have read both articles, write a post to your group discussion linked here that answers these questions.

• What are three tips for providing effective feedback that you learned from these articles? Choose tips that seemed meaningful or important or surprising to you. Clearly indicate which article each tip came from and explain why the tip was important/meaningful/interesting to you.
• Both articles discuss how employees/coworkers tend to respond to negative feedback. Please explain what each article says about negative feedback. Do you think these claims contradict each other, or can the information fit together in some way? Explain.
• There has been extensive research on how gender impacts feedback. One article explains this research briefly. What does it say?
• Which article seemed most convincing to you overall? Please explain.
• After reading these articles, what is one thing you will try to do more, or try to differently, when providing feedback to peers?
