The FAVORS Glossary is a list of popular feedback comments professors write within the margins of student essays. The glossary grows from a primary concern for college students who struggle with the process of revising academic papers and applying margin comments during the revision process. It serves as a comprehensive solution to bridge the communication gap between English professors and students of writing and research papers. It answers the question, “What does my professor mean by this?”
Written by Regina Y. Favors, CEO and Chief Instructional Designer of Favors Learning Center, The FAVORS Glossary defines more than 170 margin comments. Example terms include “Audience,” “Awkward,” “Cliche,” “Lacks a Clear Argument,” "Be Specific," and “Misquoting the Evidence.” The explanations for each comment derive from both undergraduate and graduate papers written by the author. By sifting through past academic papers written for English classes, Ms. Favors was able to extract comments from over 100 one-page responses, five-page papers, longer essays, and take-home and in-class final exams. The FAVORS Glossary encourages a conversational, student-friendly tone. At the same time, the tone doesn’t hinder professors from using it as lecture material. The glossary is much similar to a university English department's drop-in writing tutor. With this in mind, it uses examples and steps to walk students through the process of revising the thesis, topic sentences, body paragraphs, use of quotes, and other essay content. It utilizes everyday terminology to help students visualize how to revise academic papers.
The FAVORS Glossary Title Catalog: 2011 Editions provides information about the multiple textbooks and digital listings that fall under the main title. The product details within this catalog serve as guidelines for institutional purchasing and course adoption decisions for both the current and upcoming academic school year.
