Notes on Commenting
I have been really impressed so far with the quality of your writing! We’re off to a great start with our eAnthology. Just a couple of things to keep in mind this week and going forward:
- Try to make sure everyone gets at least one comment. This may not always happen, but if you see that a piece has several comments already, choose another piece to comment on.
- Make sure that your comments are constructive, or helpful. Saying “I like your poem a lot” is a nice compliment, but it does not help the writer know what they did well. Be more specific to make your feedback most helpful.
- The first go around you received credit for simply posting and commenting; I did not mark down for content (or lack there of!). For the remaining weeks, I will pay closer attention and you will not receive full credit for silly or random comments.
Keep up the great work. I can’t wait to see what you write next!
