Overdoing it can "over do it!

This was a very helpful review to remind us of the importance of concise, uncomplicated grammer and writing. We often are underthe impression that to state our point intelligently, we must bog it down with big words, additional phrases and emotion; When in fact this can be a distraction and keep persons from understanding the whole point of the sentence anyway.

Coaching someone where it might not help..

We have this new employee who has been with us for almost three months. She is having a hard time remembering how to do things. I ask her how things are going and if she understands everything we have taught her and she says yes. The problem is, she doesn't. She is making little mistakes that are causing more work for others. If I ask her if she understands a certain thing she still says yes even if she doesn't. She is very hard to coach and not sure what else I should do.

I'd like to see previous attempts and finally figure a pre-writing system that works in graduate classes. Steve

How to discuss a coworker's writing

What is the best way to approach a situation where you feel that a coworker has poor writing? I read something that was sent out by someone recently that was very wordy and with multiple grammar errors. I was not asked to proof it or anything, but I know that it could have benefited from editing. How do you go about this situation without offending someone?
