How can graduate education teach the practice of writing?
-Have workshop days for folks' papers.
Workshop 1: bring your outline and rough literature review
Workshop 2: bring the first draft of your paper
Workshop 3: bring the final-ish copy for last editing and review
These workshops would not happen IN ADDITION to the already assigned work, but INSTEAD! OR, this could be a lower credit course where you only read 2 or 3 books on the practice of writing and then bring in work from the other 2 courses you are taking.
-Assign evaluations
Students will have to pair up and read each others work a week before the pieces are due.
Part of their own paper grade will be determined by the level and usefulness of the feedback they provide to their partner.
Students will have to turn in a self-evaluation for their final paper as well.
Writing does not happen alone. Or it shouldn't. Right?
