Feedback plays a key role in the development of students and professionals of all kinds. Yet few people are taught how to give effective feedback or how to receive it. This Feedback Loops specialization is designed to change that. Based on a popular class at the University of Michigan Law School that people have called “extremely useful,” “super engaging,” and “the highlight of my week,” it is full of evidence-based tips and techniques you can use to improve your feedback skills in a wide-range of situations: in school, at work, on athletic teams, inside musical groups, and certainly when interacting with your friends and family. It also provides a number of “Feedback Labs” in which you can practice applying—in a safe, low-stakes way—the many concepts you’ll be learning. Applied Learning Project This Feedback Loops series aims to provide learners with the conceptual vocabulary and low-stakes practice opportunities necessary to improve the way they give, receive, and interpret feedback. Learners will develop the ability provide and receive helpful feedback to (1) themselves, (2) people above and below them in an organizational hierarchy, (3) their peers, and (4) big, small, and medium-sized teams.            Read more
