Communication Susan

Susan, a technical communication instructor, prepares her students to understand and articulate what they have learned about collaboration by engaging them in a discussion regarding their positive and negative experiences working as a member of a team. Later her students will complete a brief essay in their integrative learning portfolio that responds to this prompt, following an extensive collaborative project recently completed in the course.
