Small changes, big impacts in the classroom part 4: I try to avoid using this one word when providing feedback

You are awesome!!

And that's why you come across as so affirming and encouraging! Thanks for sharing, Howie!

i use that word far too often. I'm quitting all pronouns altogether now. It's difficult.

I only use they them because I am more inclusive than you

Such a simple but effective way to enable students rather than shutting them down since we are all affected by what we view as criticism. Thank you Howie

"You" can definitely be incendiary in a sentence. Love your style, Prof!

Interesting point! but focusing only on the positive and ignoring the negative might have an opposite effect. For example: Students will take the award of positive outcomes but won't take(or hesitate) the responsibility of negative ones. What are your thoughts on this?
