About Individual Conference (11/09 Monday)

The Objective of Individual Conferences:

The individual conferences allow the opportunity for additional communication and support between the instructor and each individual student. Instructors should use this meeting to review where students are in their writing process and where they need to be, and to create action goals for their students.

These conferences should focus on students' performance on the final writing assignment for the course, which is students' final demonstration of understanding of the course skills.

Accomplish: During the conference, instructors should elicit any questions that the student has on their draft for the final major assignment, provide feedback and clear goals for the student to improve on and work toward for the final draft, and discuss the student's current grade in the course.

There will be two individual conferences for each student during this semester. Each one will last for about 10-15 minutes. One will be at the end of the Unit 1 (in September), and the other will be at the end of Unit 3 (in November).

ATTENDANCE REQUIREMENT: There will be no regular class on the individual conference day, but you have to sign up for an appointment with your instructor and show up on time in order to check your attendance on that day. Missing your appointment is the equivalent of an absence. PLEASE DO NOT BE LATE!

Please sign up here for your individual conference. 

What to do before your individual conference:

What to do before your appointment: Before coming to your appointment with your instructor, please review the feedback from your instructor for at least once (it will be available one day prior to your appointment, which means by this Sunday). Prepare any question you have, and please show up on time. That would be most effective and efficient for a successful appointment with your instructor.
