A refresher on the importance of writing, and it doesn’t have to be an overwhelming experience. Writing has always been a challenge for me, and the steps of writing and how to assess writing assignments are a valuable resource. I have students writing in journals daily. The first small research project was conducted in collaboration with a partner. The second writing they do is a critique of the research project writing. The last one of the semester is done alone. We do a day of peer review with input.
