[quote=Anonymous]Hi OP. Humanities professor here following up after your reply. I think your son has to go in with a graded paper in hand and say, can you show me how to do this better. If the profs/TAs are being too general he can force their hand a bit. The key is for him to make clear at the outset (and he can do this in an email beforehand) that he would really like some step-by-step instruction because he is trying to learn how to write well - and not that he is asking for a different grade. It's not that I think the instructors will be more generously inclined if he makes this goal clear; it's that the misunderstanding is natural here. Students rarely ask for this kind of help. I am assuming that most TAs and liberal arts school profs are happy to do this kind of teaching. Even if they aren't, your student has every right to take up their time during office hours. Again, I have always been THRILLED when students were willing to go the extra mile to learn.[/quote]
