Professor David Carless gave a presentation on developing feedback literacy and doctoral attributes. He discussed how feedback literacy involves understanding comments, making judgments, appreciating feedback, managing emotions, and taking action. Developing doctoral attributes includes seeking feedback, appreciating quality work, and having a growth mindset. Some challenges of doctoral studies are imposter syndrome, time management, and maintaining emotional well-being. Carless advised tactics like peer feedback, analyzing exemplars, persistence, and publishing to help overcome challenges and develop as a scholar.
