Critique and Evaluation Flashcards

In the 'sandwich' critique technique, what is the CORRECT order of feedback delivery?

Answer: Positive, negative, positive

The sandwich technique structures feedback as positive-negative-positive, beginning and ending with strengths to make the student more receptive to corrective feedback.

A small group critique is MOST beneficial because it:

Answer: Allows students to learn vicariously from observing their peers' experiences

A small group critique allows students to learn from peers' performances and the collective feedback, enriching learning beyond what direct individual feedback provides.

Which statement BEST describes an individual critique?

Answer: A private, one-on-one feedback session between instructor and student

An individual critique is a private, personalized one-on-one session that allows detailed feedback without the social pressure of group observation.

What is the MOST important factor when selecting which type of critique to use?

Answer: The nature of the performance and the individual student's needs

The type of critique should be chosen based on the specific nature of the performance being reviewed and the individual needs and circumstances of the student.

A student-led critique is PRIMARILY valuable because it:

Answer: Develops the student's capacity to analyze and evaluate their own performance

A student-led critique builds the student's self-analysis and self-evaluation skills, which are critical for continued growth and lifelong learning.

When should an instructor AVOID using a group critique?

Answer: When discussing the performance publicly might embarrass or harm the student

A group critique should be avoided when publicly discussing the student's performance could cause embarrassment, humiliation, or psychological harm.

What should be the CORRECT focus of ANY type of critique?

Answer: The student's observed performance, not the student as a person

All critiques should address what the student did or did not do — their performance — rather than making any judgments about them as an individual.
