This may not be a popular opinion, and I ground it in critical love, but I don't see the benefit of providing that soft, uncritical fluffy feedback, especially for people we care about.
I have been in a few groups and engaged in some writing and revising lately where people effectively lied and withheld because they didn't want to be critical, and it was absolutely to the detriment of the person receiving the feedback.
We have to care enough to share valid and important critiques to help and move work forward.
@aebrockwell @edutooters for sure. Critical doesn't mean all "needs improvement" there should absolutely be acknowledging of what is good, with evidence.
@ZingerLearns What critiques?
@radehi any critique of work. Lots of it to be had in teaching and academia.
@ZingerLearns @edutooters Totally agree. Although I can see a role for positive fluffy feedback when someone needs their confidence built up, even in that case I think it still needs to shift to more critical feedback over time.
