Passive learners will not magically become active in their self-teaching, unless self-teaching is effortless. Granted, the obligatory introductory college writing course is supposed to lay the foundation, but it is only through constant feedback on the student’s writing tendencies that the passive learner might be a worthy self-teacher; worthy, if the learner is active in seeking timely feedback. Timely feedback means shortly before the assignment is due. http://wpacouncil.org/node/1213#comments review tutor writing Thu, 17 Apr 2008 17:17:24 -0400 rgstannard 1213 at http://wpacouncil.org http://wpacouncil.org/node/1199 I'm collecting any information people are willing to send or point me to about college or departmental policies on using class time for doing mandatory individual student conferences. http://wpacouncil.org/node/1199#comments class conference conferencing conferencing with students student student conferences student conferencing writing Thu, 10 Apr 2008 14:15:13 -0400 mbeen 1199 at http://wpacouncil.org http://wpacouncil.org/node/1085 WRITING The Faculty of Arts and Humanities at The University of Western Ontario (http://www.uwo.ca/arts/) invites applications for the position of Director of Writing, Rhetoric, and Professional Communication.
