The writer gives good points on responding to other student’s writing. What I found useful was the emphasis on responding as a reader and not a critic. This is because a reader’s response is more helpful and detailed. I think some of the tips were more general than specific. They are good points to remember, but it did not help make me a better responder. Jeremy, the responder could give better responses than I could ever do. I believe it will take more than simple tips to help me respond better to other’s writing. To be a good responder I would need to respond to various writings. Responding to other writings is a task I never did much of. So in this case practice makes perfect.
