Blog 13


My research question for my short analysis is:

What is the purpose of the side comments and beginning/end comments in the data sets and how does it motivate students to revise their papers?

Beginning/End Comments
·         positive feedback- makes the students want to revise
·         complete sentences-makes it more professional
·         references the overall assignment- goal oriented
·         mentions claims in the paper- gives support for the overall suggestions

Side Comments
·         feedback on specific claims- easier for students to understand
·         asks questions- makes the writer think and develop more research
·         fragments rather than complete sentences- laid back approach
