Making Progress in Research – Giving and Receiving Feedback

MAKING PROGRESS IN RESEARCH

GIVING AND RECEIVING FEEDBACK

 

 

OVERVIEW

 

Giving and receiving feedback in a positive and constructive manner is crucial to our success as a researcher.  As we get involved in our particular project it is often difficult to see our work objectively – as a result, we may take criticism personally and either become defensive or lose our self-confidence as a result.  It is therefore important that we learn to both seek feedback and offer it to others as part of the process of improvement to help in achieving our outcomes; all these skills will be explored and developed on the day.
