About the Author
Dr. Karen A. Wink is an English professor at the U.S. Coast Guard Academy. She has taught high school composition and literature courses for 26 years.
The Feedback Process represents one of those rare instances in
which the author manages to integrate current theory, research, and
best practices clearly and seamlessly. Instructors are provided
with the most effective insights and strategies to implement for
the relentless task of providing informative and comprehensible
written and auditory commentary for high school and college
students constructing persuasive papers across academic disciplines
in the humanities. This book is grounded in the thinking that
writing for audiences across disciplines is a social act and its
effectiveness is enhanced by its dialogic approach to feed-forward.
That is to say, the feed-forward process provided by the instructor
initiates a dialogue with the student writer to resolve
misunderstandings between the instructor’s intentions and the
student’s perceptions of those intentions. Dr. Karen A. Wink offers
teachers the most comprehensive resource for approaches for
initiating commentary on student writing that have potential to
improve student writing performance.

Dr. Karen A. Wink has a written a book that has relevant and
evidence-based applications not only for high school and

able to give meaningful feedback. The Feedback Process is filled
with ready-to-use templates informed by Dr. Wink’s many years of
experience as a college writing instructor. If you are facing a
stack of student papers and need inspiration and fresh ideas, this
is the text for you!

Attending to a crucial—and crucially neglected—aspect of
pedagogical instruction, Dr. Karen A. Wink’s clear, specific, and
extremely useful guide to providing feedback on student work, The
Feedback Process: Engaging Students with Meaningful Comments About
their Writing, has much to offer fledgling and seasoned instructors
alike.
