Gail Largent:
But what I’ve found, especially this semester, again, I started it last semester and the biggest change I’ve noticed this semester is that they are already critiquing themselves. Before I even get to go in there and make a comment, they’re already sending me a comment, oh, I know my body mechanics wasn’t good. Oh, I know I shouldn’t have let go of that patient. So they’re going back because these students that I have in the final class before they do their field work, I started them with the GoReact class last set last year. And so they know how I’m going to critique them. And so they’re already critiquing themselves. And so hopefully we can continue this when we go to the hybrid classes with our one track that we have. But that’s been a wonderful tool. It really has. But again, at the very first, when they first start using it, them taking it serious.
Sarah Baker:
And to piggyback off that, Gail, and we do find that I make them do a self-evaluation before I will even give them their evaluation. So I don’t want them to read my feedback. I want them to do their feedback first and they are their harshest critics. And then they start recognizing small errors, things where they can improve and things like that.
