Can you all share with me at what point feedback should be avoided?

Recently I have noticed that a few of my students have been using text formats in their threaded discussions. I have a zero tolerance rule for text format in any assignment student complete. Am I too harsh? What say you??? Share your thoughts...

How should one handle an individual who disagrees with the feedback you provided? Here are a few of my ideas... Listen to the concerns of the individual Share you own concerns without personal attacks Find a way to compromise by asking the individual what they would do if placed in your position. What are some of your thoughts? Please share them with me.

It is important to quickly decipher the knowledge and experience of your audience. Often times experience and knowledge is linked to age. Get a pulse of the age range of your audience so that your examples and subject matter will be received well. What say you??
