Chalmers

Like Cat and probably everyone else, I wish the Chalmers partnership had worked out. I don't thnk anyone is to blame though. I sort of thing they dropped the ball in not responding to our posts, b/c from what I heard, we had all made a post (however reluctantly) that never got responded to, and do the conversation stopped. As bad as it sounds, I think everyone involved needs to be required to make posts for a grade... otherwise I think we all know there's little motivation to do it.

I think we could have learned a lot from the Chalmers students, both about writing center work and academic life in another country. It would have been cool to see the difference and similarities. But I think one thing that could have made the partnership more interesting is if we had a set plan to do something OTHER than talk about our experiences, because that's what we already do in class, and we can only rehash the same topics so many times.

This was the first attempt, so of course there will be kinks. In the future I think everything just needs to be more organized and planned, and we need to commit to the partnership and make it an active part of class.
