Collaborative Projects in Technical Communication Classes: A Survey of Student Attitudes and Perceptions

Ann Martin Scott Southwestern University

Abstract

This article reports the results of survey research designed to determine how students feel about peer assistance and group writing. In general, the results are quite favorable, although more problems surface regarding fully collaborative projects than peer criticism. Statistical analysis of both objective and open-ended items yields suggestions for design and management of collaborative projects in technical communication classes.
