In Class, On-line, Which One Is Better?

The draft workshop this year has had its ups and its downs. Starting the year, I felt as though we were not allotted adequate amounts of time to provide appropriate critiques. I think if we were given more time, more discussions about the papers would result. Besides this downside of the workshops in the beginning of the year, I feel as though doing them on-line has been beneficial. I have been able to read through my groups papers more thoroughly, instead of scribbling as much as I could on the draft workshop papers in class. I think if we had at the beginning of class, a chance for a follow-up session with our partner to discuss the criticisms and corrections we proposed on-line the class before, would be helpful. Also, if we were to change groups for a session once in awhile, I think it would help each of us get a different perspective on the types of writing our other classmates produce. Whether in-class or on-line, I feel as though the draft workshop process is beneficial no matter what way it is conducted as long as the individuals involved take it seriously, and put in a concerted effort to helping their classmate.
