From EGSC Composition I 1101: "Hey, Dr. Denton, I am using your technique: highlighting and grouping ideas in my paper. I have to say that my paper is coming along pretty well, and it's actually flowing. Now I can see where I am all over the place with the formation of my paper. So happy that you showed me this [technique]; it's a skill that I will definitely never forget. I wish I would have learned this earlier in life. Thank you!"
