TESOL 2007 Survey on Writing Class Assessment and Feedback

Post by jeromerothermund » Sun Mar 04, 2007 10:19 am

Attn: Higher-ed writing instructors,

I am doing a bit of research for a presentation at TESOL 2007 in
Seattle. I would greatly appreciate it if anyone who teaches writing
courses at the higher education level (in any country) would take five
minutes to complete a short survey on writing class assessment and
feedback. The results of this survey will be available at Poster
Session 3639, "Expediting Learner Assessment for Large Writing
Classes," on Saturday, March 24. Thank you!

My abstract is below:

Finding ways to simplify and speed-up learner assessment becomes
essential when faced with writing classes of 25 or more students. This
poster session will demonstrate how to do this effectively via
peer-assessment, peer-editing, in-class feedback, and self-correction.
