Journal Activity (Pause the Video Here Until Finished) Think about something you’ve been proud* of in your experience in STEM (e.g. a research project or a course experience). Describe this experience in at least a few sentences. Now, consider something you’ve been proud of outside of the context of STEM. Describe this experience in at least a few sentences as well. Then answer the following question: What kind of feedback did you get during that experience or along the way? Who did that feedback come from? (e.g. peers, mentors, mentees, instructors, a large group/audience, younger students, parents, coaches, etc.)? *or, an accomplishment you’ve been really happy about

Graduate Student Stories Listen to the graduate student stories in the video. What are some of the similarities and differences you saw, particularly with respect to the role of feedback received?

Story 1: Blue Belt

The Role of Feedback: Body Feedback

The Role of Feedback: Instructor Feedback

Story 2: NASA Grant

Reflection: Graduate Student Stories What were some of the similarities and differences you saw in comparing to your own stories, particularly with respect to the role of feedback received?

Did you have any assessment items in college STEM courses that explicitly asked you to complete the feedback loop (i.e. formulate a plan and revise)? If so, what was (were) the object/action(s)? A)Presentation (Poster/Talk) or Paper B) Experimental Design C) Activity where you could choose D) Homework Set E) Exam Problem F) Other
