Surviving the Critique

I think the role of the critique could be used in a class like ours in many ways. A critique could be used to address people's processes, to help people realize what their intentions are, and to help people make their intentions possible. By raising questions and by offering answers to questions, our class can help lead each other in the right direction.

I think i can get the most out of a critique for my work by going into my critique with an open mind. Its important that i listen to the opinions of others and that i dont take negative critism personally. I learned in this reading that i should stand with the people critiqueing my work, not against them. In addition, while listening to others, i shouldnt change my work to math peoples suggestions. Lastly, i should go into the critique with thoughtful questions in mind.

I can be a helpful participant in my classmates' critiques by seriously listening to their concerns and their questions. Offering eye contact and positive body language will let them know that i care and that i want to help them. I can help by brining up new questions for them and by offering my opinions on the answers to their own questions.
