A Basic Guide To Constructive Criticism

 

Basic Rules of Constructive Criticism:

1. Not all rules broken require any type of criticism (Mods are great at handling things too) 

2. All criticism should be constructive (If not, then do not say it)

3. If it is Constructive Criticism it should be fact not opinion

4. Always Explain what said person can do to improve

5.Always try to add a positive with a negative (ie, "Good job finding the article, maybe you can elaborate on your opinion next time, maybe add some quotes. The community guidelines state that, that is what is supposed to be done :D")

 

Some More Detail:

          Active listing is a big part of constructive criticism, make sure you understand the other person first.  You should go in this order, Listen, Think and then Reply. Always make sure you understand the complete message before replying to anyone (It can be good to restate what they said differently). Constructive Criticism, is really just another word for feedback, so think of it that way.

          Always have good intentions when giving Constructive Criticism, this is very important as without it all it is, is Criticism. Constructive Criticism is never for your own good. It is to help everybody, make sure that is what is happening.

          Emotions should not play a part. (Ie. "Your action is making me bananas" should not be said.) it is easy to let our emotions control our actions.

 

This should help you start to give great Constructive Criticism. Enjoy :)

Yes, sir. I figured I'd put my psychology major to use :)

It honestly does get kind of annoying everytime somebody says that something is violating the coc. How about you tell them what they did wrong politely and then help them so that it doesn't happen again. Its common sense.

I generally go with the  'shit sandwich' method for feedback. You tell them something positive, then the negative, then something positive to follow up.
