...sloppiness of their students’ writing. Grammatical problems abound in college student writing, and when student papers are filled with errors, many teachers feel obligated to correct every sentence-level error they see. While marking each error can be an extremely time-consuming task, it is always the hope that students will read these comments and learn from the corrections. Is this really what happens? Is the time well spent? Unfortunately correcting errors for students will probably not help them learn to correct errors themselves. Only the most conscientious students will pour over your comments and reach for their grammar handbooks for additional information. Rather, in cases where every error is marked and corrected, the student will likely believe that the instructor has done all the work, and that little revision is necessary beyond that indicated by the corrections. If students are not given a chance to revise work, chances are good that they will not attend to your comments at all. Another downfall to correcting every spelling, punctuation, grammar, and capitalization error in a student paper is that it can end up taking the focus of your comments off the content and organization of the piece. Even if you are careful to attend to both mechanics and content, it is important to keep in mind that students can be easily overwhelmed by a sea of red ink. In other words, more is not always better when responding to student writing. The bottom...
