Feedback is fundamental to any learning process in any discipline. However, for students, obtaining feedback can oftentimes be an experience fraught with anxiety. This can be particularly true with writing, as some students have experienced harsh, unconstructive feedback in the past, and some may have internalized self-concepts like "I cannot write" or "I am just not a good writer." Therefore, how you provide feedback on student writing is at least as important as the content of the feedback you provide. In this workshop, we will discuss and apply strategies for providing targeted, constructive feedback on student writing without exhausting your time and energy, and we will also discuss strategies for ensuring that students are well-equipped to process this feedback in helpful ways.
