Simultaneous to watching each classmate present, we had to fill out a google form for each person giving T.A.G. feedback. It stands for for:
- T = tell something you liked
- A = ask a question
- G = give a positive suggestion on improvement
The reason for this was to make sure that we were paying attention, and thus being respectful to our classmates. I think that this did the total opposite. When someone was presenting, I couldn’t focus on them presenting because I was always looking for how to answer the questions instead. Why should you need to give a purpose to paying attention, when our class is very respectful and courteous without asking?
I heard consistently that people were looking for things wrong with the presentations in order to answer the “G” part of T.A.G. It felt wrong to leave an answer blank if there was nothing that was majorly wrong with the presentation itself. Is T.A.G. feedback as effective as we think it is?
