The last DOLCE of the year, June 1st, featured two special guests.
Dana Ferris,
a professor in the University Writing program, shared helpful insights
on providing writing feedback in both composition and non-composition
courses. In her talk, she shared tips that are both practical and widely
applicable. She also highlighted helpful aspects of SpeedGrader in
Canvas in providing feedback. These aspects include the
Rubric feature as well as students’ opportunity to respond to instructor comments which can facilitate dialogic feedback.
John Zibell,
a veteran graduate student in Performance Studies, reflected on ways in
which instructors can bring students into the classroom as innovative
and improvisational collaborators.
