Review Quotes

Attending to a crucial--and crucially neglected--aspect of pedagogical instruction, Dr. Karen A. Wink's clear, specific, and extremely useful guide to providing feedback on student work, The Feedback Process: Engaging Students with Meaningful Comments About their Writing, has much to offer fledgling and seasoned instructors alike.

Dr. Karen A. Wink has a written a book that has relevant and evidence-based applications not only for high school and higher-education writing instructors but also for any instructors who require writing assignments in their courses and want to be able to give meaningful feedback. The Feedback Process is filled with ready-to-use templates informed by Dr. Wink's many years of experience as a college writing instructor. If you are facing a stack of student papers and need inspiration and fresh ideas, this is the text for you!

The Feedback Process represents one of those rare instances in which the author manages to integrate current theory, research, and best practices clearly and seamlessly. Instructors are provided with the most effective insights and strategies to implement for the relentless task of providing informative and comprehensible written and auditory commentary for high school and college students constructing persuasive papers across academic disciplines in the humanities. This book is grounded in the thinking that writing for audiences across disciplines is a social act and its effectiveness is enhanced by its dialogic approach to feed-forward. That is to say, the feed-forward process provided by the instructor initiates a dialogue with the student writer to resolve misunderstandings between the instructor's intentions and the student's perceptions of those intentions. Dr. Karen A. Wink offers teachers the most comprehensive resource for approaches for initiating commentary on student writing that have potential to improve student writing performance.
