  4. Sample Introduction The Last Thirty Years of Student Feedback: A Review This paper reviews literature concerning instructor comments about student writing in order to evaluate key areas of tension within the practice of teaching composition. The publications examined address a number of these tensions, but this paper focuses upon issues of time constraints, power, and ontology (including the ontology-genre divide). The goal of this review is to outline the emphasis of the student-teacher dynamic in the literature and how that has shaped the discussion of writing instruction through these three tensions.

  5. Body Sample I Most of the recent literature regarding comment writing lacks a thorough historical perspective. As Connors and Lunsford (1993) point out, this likely arises from the relatively recent transition from error-based commenting to global, rhetorical commenting as a point of focus around the 1950s. This re-introduction of rhetorical audience squarely places the teacher into conversation with the student, creating a specialized discourse between teacher and student (Smith, 1997). However, the nature of this discourse can vary in a number of important ways: directed versus facilitated (Straub, 1996), peer-shaped (Berkenkotter, 1984) versus lecturer-led ( Sommers, 1982; Connors and Lunsford), and ontological (Lees, 1979) versus process (Haswell, 2006). These variances influence the tensions of time, power, and ontology.

  6. Conclusion One question the field does not address well is how a discourse outside of the classroom might influence response. How would students interact with feedback in a public space from non-instructors and non-classmates. The public sphere is completely absent in the current literature even though it will constitute a huge portion of the modern writer’s audience and feedback. The gap in evaluating the role of the public in teaching composition seems open for considerable exploration, though it clearly challenges key aspects of power and genre definitions as they exist in the field currently.
