Testimonials
One of the things that I found really useful was that I could look at what students were tagging and try to kind of understand how each of them was grasping those individual concepts about writing. It really helped me get into kind of thinking on a sort of one-on-one basis with some of the students… I could look at [their writing] and say all right, there's a fundamental misconception.
Using Lettersmith has definitely improved my approach to teaching cover letters because it has forced me to really think about all of these different components and define them in really clear terms.
