Hi Everyone, I thought you might like to see the post that Alfred, our newest trained consultant, wrote for the DBU Writing Center blog. It’s more about his personal experience than the conference itself, but it’s still interesting, I think. https://dbuuwc.wordpress.com/2015/04/20/have-no-fear/comment-page-1/#comment-3 Enjoy. Comments welcome. Please be encouraging – he’s new at this :) It was great to see those of you who made it out, and we very much missed those who couldn’t attend. There were great presentations, especially Elizabeth Brownlow’s Mary Nell Kivikko Award winning words about reading texts in conjunction with helping ELL students. We came home with

Good Morning Daniel,

Inside our department, we have a new employee named April Powers who I believe could gain an array of information and knowledge from this particular event.

So the million dollar question is; Is it too late for her to register for this event. She will bring her own sack lunch if that is one concern.

Hi Daniel, I’m gathering the RSVPs from my staff and would like to put in one payment for food. When I go to the link, there is no information about costs or food choices on the first page. There doesn’t appear to be a way to register as a group either. It makes reimbursement easier if I can do one transaction. Can you offer advice on how to do that?

Christopher,

There are couple of questions that I would like to see addressed inside the newsletter. Here we go:

1. In regards to developmental students, is it effective to make notes/suggestions on a student's document/essay while explaining or providing for example, a grammar or citation tip?

2. What type of learning environment do students prefer?
