Response to An Open Letter to Writing Instructors from a Motivated Student, by Lauren Griffin, 5/23/12

I appreciated Lauren’s candidness about her experience with writing feedback. Although I’m not sure most students care about the feedback. I think her letter makes writing professors aware that what they do does matter. Sometimes it isn’t just about the grade but it’s about what is learned. This reminds me of how much emphasis is placed on the grade and not if anything is actually learned.
