Improving Communication Skills

Steven, Have you thought about making them create a professional writing journal. I use it in my writing course. When I hand back a paper, they have to review my feedback and articulate in their journal how they are going to improve their writing based on my comments. I then use their feedback to grade the next paper. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson
