Transcript

Ethan: Hi Priya, did you get a chance to review the draft I sent yesterday?
Priya: Yes, Ethan. I went through it and added comments on a few sections.
Ethan: Thanks! Can you highlight which parts need more clarity?
Priya: Sure. The market analysis section could use a brief summary at the top. Also, the charts in section three might need clearer labels.
Ethan: Got it. Should I update it before our client presentation or after the team review?
Priya: I’d suggest updating it before the team review, so everyone sees the improved version.
Ethan: Makes sense. I’ll also reply to your comments in the document so you know what changes I made.
Priya: Perfect. And don’t forget to acknowledge any suggestions in the chat β€” it helps keep everyone on the same page.
Ethan: Absolutely. I’ll make sure to summarize the changes and tag the team.

πŸ“– Reading Practice

Providing and receiving feedback online requires clarity, specificity, and politeness. Unlike in-person feedback, remote feedback is usually written or delivered in a video call, so miscommunication can easily occur. To prevent misunderstandings, always highlight the exact section, issue, or task you are referring to. Use numbered points, references, or screenshots when necessary so there's no confusion about what needs attention.

Why is miscommunication more likely with remote feedback?

βœ“ Correct!
πŸ€” The correct answer is "Because it's usually written or delivered in video calls"

A simple "I've updated the document based on your comments" goes a long way.

It's also important to balance constructive criticism with positive reinforcement. Highlighting what was done well alongside areas for improvement encourages learning and keeps morale high. People are more open to suggestions when they feel their efforts are recognized. Additionally, tagging relevant team members in the chat or document ensures that everyone is aware of updates and can act accordingly.

βœ“ Correct!
πŸ€” The correct answer is "To encourage learning and keep morale high"
