What’s a Conference?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A conference is a brief meeting during which you and I will discuss the initial draft of your paper. I\u2019ll tell you what I notice as the strong and weak points of your draft, and you\u2019ll have the opportunity to ask me questions about your draft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Conference?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You and I discussing your paper provides better feedback than me commenting on a draft. Speaking is faster than writing, and you can ask questions while I\u2019m speaking, so you not only receive more feedback, but also more precise feedback, as you can control the advice. If I just wrote a paragraph about your paper, you wouldn\u2019t be able to do that. Additionally, during a conference we can cover a wider range of your paper\u2019s strengths and weaknesses. Hopefully, you\u2019ll be less likely to only address specific examples and apply our discussion to your entire draft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How does a Conference Work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
  1. Show Up<\/strong>\u2014you\u2019ll have a choice of an in-person conference or a zoom conference. Regardless of your choice, it\u2019s crucial to arrive to your conference on time. Give yourself time to get on zoom or to get to campus and my office (and find my office). As you\u2019ll notice on the conference schedule, I\u2019m meeting with many students, and I won\u2019t make others wait because you were late.<\/li>
  2. Pay Attention<\/strong>\u2014don\u2019t have text conversation during our conference; don\u2019t show up high (both of these things have happened). Consider the situation: the person who will be evaluating your Writing Project is telling you how to improve your draft. It\u2019s in your best interest to listen.<\/li>
  3. Ask Questions<\/strong>\u2014I\u2019ll discuss the strengths and weaknesses as I see them, focusing on the most important elements first. However, you may already have an idea of your weaknesses and have specific problems that I don\u2019t cover. Ask me for feedback. If I haven\u2019t answered all your questions, ask them. You should have questions; this is a sign that you\u2019re thinking about what your writing, which will help you be a stronger writer.<\/li>
  4. Take Notes<\/strong>\u2014None of this will matter if you don\u2019t take notes. Even if you pay attention and ask questions, you will probably forget details of our conversation if you don\u2019t take notes. Not because you\u2019re poor students, but because you\u2019re busy people, probably juggling many courses and activities. Take notes so you have a guide for your revision process.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
