Melvin Sierra commented on the post, Don't read, skim!, on the groupblog Writing For Engineering
I normally skim through literature when it’s too long to read within 15-30 minutes, it’s a fast and easy way to get the information you need without all the bloat. Some of the things I do to help me skim is to loo […]

So the delay in getting this module out to you all, is that there’s a lot in it that needs to be unpacked. In this module we’re focusing on ChemE PhD student Emily Ackerman’s experience being on the inacc […]

My positive writing beliefs about my capabilities came from school assignments. When it came to writing I enjoyed any project where I’d get to truly express myself. This helped me engage in my work and the final p […]
