For this week’s blog post we were given the task of giving feedback to our peers for their digital artefact pitches. What stood out to me the most when reading a few of the blog posts I was assigned was the amazing talent and interesting niches people have chosen to research. Reading these posts really inspired me to think about the amazing community that I am a part of which gave me some motivation. I found specifically being able to put myself in the markers shoes and analyze work based on marking criteria that would intern be used to mark my own work really helped me visualize and understand the tasks and what markers are looking for. 

Here are some of the pitches that I gave feedback to. 

Looking at Tam’s pitch I felt that she did a really good job of deeply analysing the persona she is aiming for in her niche. Looking back at my pitch I believe I could have been more specific about exactly the type of persona I am going to be attributed to taking feedback from my niche. My lack of detail in terms of my persona was also mentioned by a couple of my peers when receiving feedback which I found useful to take on board. 

After reading Ben’s pitch I gained a few ideas that I had not thought of that proved to be extremely helpful to my research. He mentioned that he would look back at older comments versus new comments on specific YouTube videos to look at the differences in behaviours and attitudes towards the topic at a given time. I think I could certainly apply this to my own topic looking back at older cryptocurrency videos and analysing the comments. 

Looking at Lauren’s pitch I realised I could have provided more of a schedule as to the weekly timeline of my digital artefact. She had a great image that showed what she was going to aim to do on each day of the week as well as what she was going to constantly do throughout the progression of her DA. 

Looking back at my feedback comments I think the way I expressed myself to get the point across I was trying to make could have been improved. Trying to fit in information in such a short amount of space is tough and something that I am trying to work on. I do think however when evaluating my feedback I did give some good suggestions for things that they might need to work on further down the track.
