Abstract

This presentation shares the results of IRB-approved research looking at the efficacy of writing groups for two high-achieving student populations: graduate students and Liberal Arts Honors College undergraduates. The writing groups were demonstrated to be effective for graduate students, but various factors affected the viability of writing groups as long-term writing support for the undergraduates.
