How Do I Give Feedback that Improves Student Writing?

Trying to teach students to improve their writing can be like trying to teach cats to fetch:

  • Demonstrate all you want
  • Encourage all you want
  • Implore all you want;
  • You’re apt to be met with nothing but blinks.
  • You’ll never change cats … but you can change students.

In this Magna 20 Minute Mentor presentation, Maryellen Weimer, Ph.D., consultant, editor of The Teaching Professor and professor emerita at Penn State-Berks, shares with you her seven novel feedback techniques that will motivate your students and drive real improvement in their writing.

Professional Development Outcomes:

  • Learn how you gain student “buy-in” to the feedback process
  • How you can separate feedback from grading for better results
  • How to use benchmarking and “gateway” techniques to streamline the feedback process
  • How you can make feedback more “actionable” for students

In just a few short minutes, you’ll gain valuable insights into strengthening and improving your pedagogy.
