LA+Podcasts

Starting in 2010-2011 I have been adding a final step in our writing process on many assignments: podcasting. I have noticed already that when I hear vs. read essays it is a very different assessment for me. When I just listen, I can focus better on the opwer of the argument and the overall message being presented. While I need to evaluate students' ability to write clearly with effective grammar etc, sometimes it's easy to get lost in that minutia and miss the message.
