Abstract | Students in a freshman composition course at William Jewell College write compositions during each class period and discuss their papers in weekly individual conferences with the instructor. The instructor reads the papers during the conferences and then stresses the strengths of the students' writing and points out patterns in the weaknesses. Among the advantages the conference method has over the traditional teaching method are the following: comments are prompt, specific, and individualized; the method saves students' money (it does not require the purchase of a basic handbook) and the instructor's time; and conferences appear to play a part in holding down attrition.
