Blog 12

For my essay I want to use the data set we worked on with teachers comments. A few research questions I found to be quite interesting

1) Does a teachers age effect the type of comments she leaves
or
2) What features of negative comments make then encouraging

I'm interested in if young teachers are more tolerable and understanding that different people have different writing styles, rather then a teacher who is older and set in his or her ways of teaching and grading. OR I would like to look at what is it in a negative comment that makes a student want to improve. Certain negative comments have the ability to crush a student while others seem to be very useful in a students revision process.
