Providing Feedback to Graduate Student Writers: Rethinking Traditional Approaches Online
This workshop for faculty shares approaches to providing feedback on academic writing projects such as theses and dissertations. We discuss ways to anticipate and prepare for the challenges that graduate writers, including writers for whom English is an additional language (EAL), may experience as they receive, interpret, and respond to feedback. We show how you can support your graduate students throughout the writing process and provide meaningful feedback under time constraints by approaching feedback as both a teacher and a researcher. In particular, we focus on discourse analysis as a feedback tool which moves away from deficit thinking about EAL users. In this workshop, we will provide opportunities for participants to share ideas, strategies, and challenges with each other and to consider different ways to deliver written feedback. We will also discuss resources and support from Writing and Learning Services and from the Office of Teaching and Learning.
This event is online. A Zoom link will be provided via email approximately one day before the workshop.
