What is the difference between a “round table” and an “open forum”critique session?
Some people prefer a “round table” feedback session in which members take turns offering their comments. This can be useful for taking notes and giving everyone a chance to speak. However, it can also lead to a static, “me too” type of commentary. The “open forum” session is an informal discussion that allows people to pursue a particular idea and build on each other’s comments in a more dynamic manner. Its primary drawbacks are that some voices may get lost in the discussion, and the comments can be drawn off on tangents. You can choose whichever method you prefer, or combine the two approaches.
