    The first article I read was "Why Do So Many Mangers Avoid Giving Praise?". I chose this article mainly because the relation to work situations. The article essentially states that many managers only give negative feedback as a way to be a corrective measure, but can be nervous to do so.

    The second article I read was "Giving Creative Feedback – A Guide for Those Who Aren’t Creative". I chose this article mainly because I don't view myself as a particularly creative individual, so I figured this article could be helpful. I'm not sure how effective it would be in person as it seems to involve asking oneself a lot of questions which may take some time. However, this does seem to be a decent method for this class as we have time to think about out responses.
