Handout: Editing  & Feedback

Exchanging Papers with Comments

  1. Our first approach to exchanging papers and receiving written comments from either me, your teacher, or a fellow student, is to bring a hard copy of the paper to your weekly meeting. Comments will be handwritten on the paper.
  2. A second approach is you may receive a cassette tape recording or CD recording of comments I, or a fellow student may create in response to your paper.
  3. The third approach is making comments using your word processor. You may highlight words, sentences or paragraphs in different colors: red for spelling mistakes, blue for awkward wording, yellow for other errors.
  4. You should also exchange a form with written comments which give additional information to your evaluation.
