Student writing addressed in Faculty Teaching Forum Thursday
Gary Tandy (English) will present “Responding Effectively and Efficiently to Student Writing” at a Faculty Teaching Forum session from noon to 1:20 p.m. Thursday, March 18, in the Cap and Gown Room.
Since grading papers and essay exams is one of the most time-consuming and challenging tasks for teachers, this session will provide guidelines and suggestions for both the process and product of responding to student writing. Questions to be addressed include: “How can I make my grading process more efficient?”, “How can I use grading rubrics effectively?” and “What grammatical and mechanical errors should I mark?”
To reserve a lunch, e-mail Jere Witherspoon (jwithers@georgefox.edu) by 1:30 p.m. on Tuesday, March 16. Everyone is welcome to attend the session, whether bringing a lunch or reserving a lunch.
All faculty — full time, part time, and adjunct — are invited to attend Faculty Teaching Forums (FTFs). The schedule of upcoming sessions is available online. Video podcasts of FTFs will be available on iTunesU.
