FGS Relationships

“difficulties in understanding professors’ expectations [are] more extensive than the problems encountered by more traditional students”
- Collier & Morgan
Problematic Response
@timacklin
“Instead of habitual, automatic reactions, our words become conscious responses based firmly on awareness of what we are perceiving, feeling, and wanting. We are led to express ourselves with honesty and clarity, while simultaneously paying others a respectful and empathetic attention”
- Marshall Rosenberg

-Richard Straub
Request
@timacklin
“Students who get to raise issues for responders to address will likely see the comments as less controlling than comments that are initiated solely by the teacher, according to her agenda. They might even feel encouraged to take a more active role in their work as writers”
-Richard Straub
Request
@timacklin
Request – Phase 1
Phase 1
Students must be given the opportunity and
afforded the respect to request that their
needs be met through teacher response
@timacklin
Request – Phase 1
@timacklin
Request – Phase 1
@timacklin
Request – Phase 2
Phase 2
Consider the practice of response itself as a
request from reader to writer
@timacklin
“simultaneously tentative and goal-driven [… and where] their tentativeness seemed to originate in their attempt to weigh options, toss the responsibility for making decisions back to the writer, and offering possibilities for a better text”
-Chris Anson
Request – Phase 2
