- I think just about any of us will do just about anything for engaged,
- receptive, adademically motivated students. What we come to resent is the time
- we spend on students who couldn't care less. Comp teachers have to be very
- miserly with their time. I have tried to set up normative responding and
- grading procedures that willbe helpful to most students, a procedure that
- makes the best use of my time generally. But when I find a student who can
-
- benefit from fuller commentary on papers or from conferences, then I
- willprovide that kind of feedback. What I don't do is set up a teacher-killing
- system as the norm, when much of the effort invested will be totally wasted.
