Well, it’s very very excited to see a video feedback. It’s very very clear and make so many sense than just use markers mark on that. I do love this way, and it’s a new experience for me ever. I like the way that the feedback makes things super clear and I know exactly what I suppose to do to make the project great.

As with most people, I also really enjoyed the video feedback. This is the first assignment I’ve had a professor do this for, so it was also a new experience for me. I specifically liked that I could watch as you highlighted the sentences/design features that you were simultaneously talking about. It was very clear what suggestions you were making which helped me learn what I can improve upon.

I think that videos are a good method for feedback, especially, as other people mentioned, for an online class. The only thing that I think would be useful would be to add the main comments that are made as a written comment in addition to the video. That way after people watch the video, they can quickly refer to the main idea of what was said without having to watch the video over again.

I did mark some text as I was going in a lot of the videos. Maybe I was tired when I got to yours? Anyway, I can pay more attention to annotations. Thanks. Traci

The video was nice, because it can be played back as many times as needed, but I think one thing that could be even more useful in the videos, is maybe highlighting specific sections or sentences on the paper. I know writing it can be tedious and since you are giving us a video, you can just tell us specifics that need to be changed. But having the paper annotated with even circles or highlights can make it easier to revise, and focus on the sections that need more work.

Casey, I can look into adding captions for you. I didn’t them by default because that would have probably tripled the time it took (that is to do them for everyone). Adding them to help one student isn’t a big deal. Traci

Thanks for the feedback, Rachel. I’m happy that you all seem to like the videos. They take a bit longer, but it sounds as though they are worth it.

To everyone else, I will just click likes instead of trying to add a “thank you” post for each one of you. I’m guessing that you get the idea that I’m grateful 🙂

Great. Thanks for this feedback, Danielle. I’m glad it helped you understand the errors.
