I think that assessment should be one of the driving forces in a theory of composition.
Let's assume that's so. If it's so, why hasn't it received much attention? CrossTalk is a pretty good example of how invisible assessment is in comp theory. Why would that be, you think? And does it matter?

One other question. You'll notice that I have provided different kinds of response to your work:
I have highlighted what I liked.
I have graded work.
I have raised questions and had you write back to me.
I have simply written notes.
Which of these is "best" and why?
Which do you like best?
Which fits with which theory of composition?

A quick reminder: before you post, you need to read the posts already here and then post in a way that connects to them.
So for instance, I did reply to Julie; anyone could take up my questions. And note that Emily did connect to Julie: she said,
"Yet, as Juliel's comment about assessment as a "driving force" implies, it is always there."
Emily notes as well that my comments have focused on the material, not really on your use of language. Is that important?
I'll be checking in as I can. I'm eager to see what you all think.
And of course I'm eager to see what you think of this composing space.

Very nice to read all these! I'm having terrible access problems, but I will be back to you.

"I have to disagree with the point that Charles Scuster made and which Dr. Yancey quotes in her article. I have found that students fictionalize even within single paper assessments."
Very interesting! ;) How so? What Schuster was referring to was the fictionalization that happens in a reflective letter.
And is fictionalization such a bad thing? When the writer is writing about his practice as a writer, doesn't it require some amount creation of an imagined self. Even "more experienced" authors are guilty of this I am sure.
*Possible. Does this have a parallel in the Ong article about imagining an audience?
