  • 1/26 Responding to Student Writing in the Disciplines

    ITL Lunchtime Seminar

    The Institute for Teaching & Learning will be offering the following Lunchtime Seminar:

    Responding to (and Grading) Student Writing in the Disciplines

    by

    Tom Deans
    English & ITL-Writing Center

    Responding to and grading student writing will always take time, but there are more and less effective and efficient ways to do it. This session will reveal what research on writing in the disciplines suggests about best practices. We’ll also discuss some less common but quite promising practices–such as recorded audio responses, quick individual conferences, and peer review–that take less time than traditional written commenting on drafts.
    Targeted Audience: Faculty & TA’s

    Monday, January 26th
    11:15 – 1:10pm
    ROWE Center, Rm 320
