Sharpening the Craft of Scientific Writing.
Koprowski, John L.
Journal of College Science Teaching, v27 n2 p133-35 Nov 1997
Describes a writing-intensive ecology course designed to foster the development of writing and critiquing skills early in the semester and immerse students in the peer-review process toward the end of the course. By critiquing other scientific papers, students gain insight into the effectiveness of their own writing while also increasing their sense of ownership of the review process. (PVD)
