- In Learning to Praise Donald Daiker
discusses the way that writing apprehension can prevent writers who have had
previous experience with overly critical comments can hinder a student’s
ability to produce new writer or be bold in their writing. What ways might you,
as a teacher, combat writing apprehension in your students? Are there ways of
doing so that do not involve pressure free writing situations or are those our
only hope?

– In Belanoff’s What is a Grade? they
directly address the ways that grades are inherently relative objects. In
particularly, Belanoff says that “I’ve been forced to realize that grades are
always relative to the institution where they’re given” (150). Consider in what ways the institutions you
have attended might have affected the types of grades you received. How do you
think that FSU will influence the grades that you give?
I don't know the answer to your number two yet as to how being at FSU may affect my grading, but it is also something that I began reflecting upon after reading this piece and definitively plan to sit with this idea a bit.
