Huh. Now I wonder if a lot of writing classes are structured this way. :)
And yeah, like I said, I generally do try to be nicer during the roundtable and ease off on the snark and harshness (unless they're good friends who I know can take it in the way its intended, i.e. criticism with humor).
But I know I personally do get more out of people bluntly telling me what didn't work. I always generally try to find one thing I liked and one thing that needed work, at least. Some end up having more on one end than the other, but getting a critique of only what I liked or what I didn't like are both bad in different ways.
