I'd love to hear more about what you do in class itself while workshopping (i.e. do they have questions they have to answer? do you direct it as a whole class? do they get a grade for this?, etc.).

I teach TTR, so two class periods are devoted to it. The class period before that week starts, every person who is up for workshop has to bring in enough copies of their paper for the entire class.
