Motivating Students Series
Negative feedback can lead to a
negative class atmosphere. Be specific when giving negative feedback and tie
comments to a specific task or performance—not to a specific student.
Cushion negative comments with positive compliments about aspects of the
task that students did well and be sensitive to "offhanded" remarks that
might engender feelings of inadequacy. Often students want to know the
"answer"—"what was it I should have said or done to make it right?" Avoid
pleas from students for the "right answer" which can rob them of the
opportunity to think and problem-solve for themselves. Ask for suggestions
of possible approaches to the problem, suggest sources, and encourage them
to build on existing skills. Always praise students for small, independent
steps. —Submitted by Employee Development

| A
celebration honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was held January 11 in
Shearer Hall. Skip McCall, first vice president of the Statesville Chapter
of the NAACP was guest speaker. During the ceremony, three area citizens,
Rosa Lee Bailey, Brian Long and Jennifer Warren, were each presented the
Viola Parker Diversity Awards. Four East Statesville churches were also
honored with a special Viola Parker Community Award. The program included
songs led by Anya Morrison, a member of the MCC financial services staff,
and a solo performance by Karla Causey, an MCC student.
