Feedback Journal: Graduate Writing II

Name: Welling T

 

Week 1: Feedback Preferences

What kind of feedback would you like to receive from your instructor? On what aspect of writing would you most like to receive feedback?” TYPE YOUR ANSWER HERE

Dealers choice,

should not include “I did not read the instructions the same way you did, so marking off not based on merit of the written word but marking off based on what the audience is expecting.” I am so not a fan of that. Complete unclear instructions. Completely unclear rubric.

Although I did say dealers choice, so maybe punitive grading is the OC tool employed to force a longer more detailed response. All an OC is going to do is usually sit with the pain and get annoyed with the situation. Blocking pain is something as a handicapped person you are forced to get used to.

4 weeks of class left. Lets see how this next week does. already thinking about the “well I will likely just have to pay to take this class next time”. Since existing writing skills do not count.

How do you give me solid feedback, not using Skinner Box (OC) techniques is a good choice. All it will do is annoy me.

 

Use this journal to record the writing feedback you receive. Please update and submit this table by Day 7 of Weeks 2 through 5.

Technical writing

Too long, incorrect packaging for different audiences. Differences between how I read the instructions versus the demands of my audience.

The foundation of academics

Be very much on guard regarding the illusions of “but the instructions were totally clear”. Not everyone reads the same paragraph the same way. Ignoring those facts has caused more problems in communication can be measured. That is something to think about.

Technical writing

What is my plan to improve. I do not really have one. My thoughts are to give a description of my equation formatting for my sentences to make it easier for my audience to follow along.

mathematics

Work more on the description of my equation writing. to allow for better and better descriptions.

 [A1]This is a great insight.  For many of us, we need to adjust our message to best suit our audience.  Do you have any techniques you currently employ to help with this?

 [A2]This seems like a logical way to further your content knowledge in an area you obviously enjoy.  Are there any steps you plan to take regarding writing, as opposed to content?
