Providing feedback to students on their writing can be a daunting task, especially when faced with a full-class of papers to grade. This often leads to quick comments to get through the stacks more quickly but the end result is inadequate feedback to students. The way in which teachers provide feedback on students’ writing also impacts their internal dialogue and self-perceptions of their writing ability. In this session, Professor Sudeepa Gulati and Dr. Meena Singhal focus on ten tips and strategies teachers can use to provide more effective writing feedback.
