Michele Eodice led OU's participation in this multi-campus study, and if you want to hear WHAT STUDENTS SAY about meaningful writing in college, then read this book. Plus there's a follow-up book coming with ideas about how implement these findings; I'll update this post as more information becomes available (the book will be published by WVU, who also published Susan Blum's ungrading book).]]> 2023-10-04 22:09:02 UTC https://padlet.com/laurakgibbs/feedbackthoughts/wish/2732815285 Feedback (not grades...) laurakgibbs https://padlet.com/laurakgibbs/feedbackthoughts/wish/2732815595 I worked hard over the years to creative a positive culture of feedback, both for how I worked together with the students to support them in their work, and also for how the students worked together and supported each other. I collected some resources here: Feedback Resources. Those resources are focused on feedback for creative writing projects, but the same basic idea applies to any kind of learning: finding ways for students to share what they've done/learned, and to get help and inspiration for their next steps going forward.

Feedback Bootcamp. This is an overview of the five weeks' worth of work students do at the start of the semester to get ready for giving feedback on each other's projects for the rest of the semester.
Student to Student Advice. I asked students to suggest advice they would give to future students, and I turned that into a student-to-student widget in the class announcements.
Suggestion Box in Canvas. You can include a Suggestion Box in your Canvas menu so that students can leave you feedback about the class. We all need feedback! (It's just a simple Google Form that appears as a Canvas menu item.)

details: focus in on specific words, phrases, sentences (which means you must read closely yourself)
single out what works: writers need to know what is working; what will their readers remember most?
ask questions: questions prompt more writing from the writer
share resources: help writers with their research (content resources, and also resources for the writing process, technology resources, etc.)
relate to your own work: providing feedback can be part of building an ongoing relationship
proofreading: proofreading your own work is hard; you can help others by proofing for them
