Join the Office of Faculty Advancement, Retention, and Excellence for a focused, practical workshop, “From Reaction to Reflection: Making Hard Feedback Work for You,” from 3:30 to 4:45 p.m. Tuesday, March 31 in 203 Rhatigan Student Center, Lancelot Room.
Critical reviewer comments on a manuscript you poured countless hours into, student evaluations that read like harsh online reviews and unsatisfactory marks on an annual evaluation. Faculty can face intense scrutiny across many parts of their careers. In this session, participants will:
- Explore why negative feedback feels so difficult from a psychological standpoint, with Rhonda Lewis, community psychology professor
- Learn strategies for reframing critique in constructive, self-supportive ways
- Hear practical advice from faculty members on how they navigate:
- Reviewer comments on their writing
- Student evaluations
- Annual performance evaluations
