Eng 103, Spring 2007,
Essid How we do this: for each of our three portfolios, you will work with a different group of peer editors. Students from the Eng. 383 class will be available to help you outside of class; all of them are training to be Writing Fellows. You may encounter Writing Fellows in your other classes, especially Core 101-102. I or another English faculty member train the Fellows in a semester-long course, and these students are then assigned to faculty members. Others spend semester tutoring in the Writing Center or Robins Center for freshman study-hall. Every tutor or Writing Fellow is specially trained in the type of commentary skills you are practicing here: asking good questions of writers, giving critical comments (instead of a "quick fix" edit), focusing first on the assignment and argument, then on sentence-level concerns (so you see the forest before the trees). Your grade and editing: Every semester poor sods forget to write their names on their editing for others in the group. Get in the habit NOW of always including a draft cover sheet so I can give each group member participation credit for their editing.
