Format

Teaching and tutoring includes timely online feedback for every writing assignment submitted. Each week 3-4 writing prompts are typically given to students to work on at home, and they are expected to complete at least some of these assignments and share them online. Each assignment that is submitted online by the assigned time will be given constructive feedback before the next class. Feedback is based on the writing rubrics and critical thinking scaffold provided to the students. This helps ensure that students bring at least a second draft to the class for personal review, not a first draft.
