Experimenting

It has been my experience in asking students to reflect, through writing, on class discussions and reading assignments, that their efforts have been lacking in coherency.  Additionally, grammatical errors are rampant.  Handing back the material to them, with my handwritten comments in the margins, hoping to give them the opportunity to revise, has proven frustrating for them and for me.  I am therefore embarking on what is for me a real departure from the shores of comfort and ease.  I am not a devotee of computers, but I am hopeful that is the realm in which my students will feel more at home as they think about, reflect upon, and create their work in the theatre.
