Pedagogy Forum, Week 3

After discussing issues of pedagogy with a professor and how to implement professional skills within the classroom, a few highlights on how to do so under the umbrella of creative writing became a bit more clear. One considerable aspect includes the very act of critiquing a student's draft in the workshop setting. I believe that creating a balance between encouraging the writing and providing productive criticism becomes a skill that can be applied to other tasks in the academic and teaching workforce as it builds one's ability to perceive what needs to be encouraged and what needs to be applied when certain habitual mistakes are made. Being delicately aware of a student's progress through such a mode of thinking could provide the experience needed to encourage and enforce effective teaching.
