Writing instructors must first examine the ways in which |
|
they are currently making written comments to become more |
|
effective in fostering improved student writing. Three |
|
heuristic rubrics form the basis for a guided self- |
|
assessment rubric for writing instructors. The first |
|
rubric is based on the work of Elaine O. Lees (1979) and |
|
involves instructors charting their comments. The second |
|
rubric is based on the work of Rick Straub (1996), in |
|
which comments are divided into those that exert firm |
|
control, moderate control, or mild control. The third |
|
rubric is based on a modified version of Paul Diederich's |
|
work (1974) in which shared criteria for assessing |
|
student writing are divided into five essential |
|
categories: focus, development and support, organization, |
|
mechanics, and audience awareness. These rubrics do not |
|
simply tell or show instructors how to make written |
|
commentary, they guide instructors in teaching themselves |
|
the most appropriate methods of making effective written |
|
comments. Through application of these rubrics and other |
|
guided self-assessment techniques, writing instructors |
|
can begin to realize the potential inherent in guided |
|
self-assessment. Three appendixes present charts and |
|
category criteria for each of the rubrics. (RS) |
