Essay Response Consultation @ Cornell
FOR FWS INSTRUCTORS AND OTHER TEACHERS OF WRITING
GWS@Cornell
Knight Institue GWS tutors are a valuable resource not just for writers, but also for teachers. The Essay Response Consultation enables instructors to sit down one on one with tutors to talk about student writing. Because they have a great deal of experience in reading and talking about student essays and helping atudents to understand and learn from teacher comments, Knight tutors can usefully support instructors who want to deepen and extend strategies for commenting on student work.
STRATEGY SESSION First-Year Writing Seminar instructors and other teachers of writing can work with tutors to develop plans for responding to papers when instructors are in the process of providing comments and evalutions.
REFLECTION SESSION First-Year Writing Seminar instructos and other teachers of writing can work with tutors to review a set or selection of student papers after instructors have already written comments and assigned grades.
