# Week 2 Reflection #
Sketch of a lazy cat by me
(How I'm feeling time-constraint but I try to stay awake)
Hihi,
its another week of school. Wanted to clear this blog post before I'm too busy and forgot to clear this. I like the lectures for CS3216 a lot so far! It is full of stories kind of remind me of another biology module. Don't really like to blog so much because I'm not really good with my words.
What strikes me so far this week is the tip on asking user feedback: asking only strangers and your best friends for feedbacks because your acquaintances and family doesn't want to hurt your feelings. I personally feel that this statement is true to a certain extent, like depending on how you behave to other people and the way you structured your questions.
First thing first, I need to think through what I type in blogs because its public and I don't want to sound blunt and offend people. That is so even for my blog week 0 because I want to appear formal and nice. This is the same with a certain group of strangers who also want to be nice to you and didn't want to hurt your feelings because they understand you are doing it for grades or they are just want to be nice and don't want any trouble.
Secondly, the way you behave to other people like criticism affects how people are willing to give you constructive feedback in the future. In my personal experience, because I appeared to be a calm and doesn't care person, and I share a lot of personal thoughts with other people (according to acquaintances and friends random feedback - without me asking them). There is a significant number of people, whether my close friends, so-so friends and even people I don't really know but I see them around are much more open to me, to criticize me, or share with me their personal thoughts as well. But I have to say I'm not the people person.
(updates: I just realized just briefly mentioning about the story of sensitive people I know of sound kind of offensive and not nice. Summary of the story is that common people who we know each other and I often have to think hard and think through what we want to say before communicating with the sensitive people. It feels stressful sometimes and to avoid trouble usually only the good stuffs will be talked about - the same feeling of not wanting to offend a potential sensitive stranger as well.)
Lastly, I feel that question structuring is important. Never mind, I don't want to complete this as I have 2 projects 1 lecture to watch (flip classroom). But a good example will be you don't go around asking strangers and best friends "This app is good right? right? right?" and they will probably smile at you sheepishly and nod their head. OK. Time for rest of my stuffs.
tschüß
