Feedback Process

The Feedback Process: Engaging Students with Meaningful Comments About their Writing features curriculum and instruction to assist humanities educators with commenting on student drafts. The focus is on students' non-fiction writing or arguments supported with credible sources. To make a complex process more accessible, this book features strategies for both written and auditory commentary. To make the process more efficient, it includes surveys, feedback models, rubrics, lists of useful comments, and sample student drafts (with commentary). This book draws from classroom research to discuss strategies for managing students' emotional responses to feedback, as well as instructors using tone and word choice constructively for greater impact on drafts. The Feedback Process ultimately aims to lessen the burden on instructors and educators who comment on a substantial number of papers every semester, with a fresh approach to feedback.
