- Summary:
-
The most effective way to help students improve their writing is for one person to carefully read another's manuscript and then comment at length to the author during an interview. Therefore, in a course on technical writing developed for undergraduates at the University of Minnesota, the primary method of instruction is the individual conference between student and instructor. The conferences are planned for twenty minutes each, which is enough time to focus on a particular topic, such as specificity or transitional paragraphs. No pre-set curriculum exists for any individual student. Rather, each student is approached with his/her writing difficulties, and those difficulties are worked on until solved. The most successful approach is one involving ten twenty-minute conferences. In addition to these conferences, most students attend a "short course" of lecture-recitations. (LL)
