[nabs-l] in class writing

[Ashley Bramlett]

Chris,
With peer editing, I just have the student read to me or the professor does. 
Then I ask then to write any comments I have on their paper.
I wish I could do this electronically, but we team up to exchange papers day 
of class, so I cannot get it ahead of time.
Ashley
