Elbow and Belanoff
Although this article is similar in the idea that feedback is used for revision, it also mentions that it does not need to be. I like the idea of insisting on your readers give you the specific style of feedback that you want and/or need, rather than just simply allowing people to talk out of their ass, which often happens in classes where workshopping each other's papers or giving feedback to your peers is made obligatory. I always try to give my best "feedback" and not waste the person's time by spewing out unnecessary bullshit. Sometimes though, they often do not know what they want from you and so it is difficult to really pinpoint what it is that I want to say.
These different ideas and styles of feedback are pretty handy and I think I'll be printing them out and leaving them in my notebook with me. I like the idea of getting the feedback I want that can actually be beneficial to me versus just reading comments and moving right past them, which I think is the most common for most people.
