Michael, I too teach a writing course and you are right that they don't really appreciate the skill until they graduate. In fact alumni support the writing course whole heartily . I would do a couple of things; I would ask alumni to record their views of the needs of writing as applied to their job. Just a thought. . . Dr. Kelly Wilkinson
