Training for students entering the TRAC Writing Fellows Program. The class explores theories and practices of peer feedback in the writing process. Our approach is student-centered and inquiry-driven. We use the TRAC acronym as a throughline to incorporate the use of technology, research, and communication into an enriching and comprehensive learning experience. Students will collaborate to develop effective strategies for conducting writing conferences. Students’ learning is shaped by peer-to-peer interactions and the development of multiple writing projects.
