editing skills

[Carl Glover <glover@msmary.edu>]

Dear Friends,
	One of my colleagues, a philosophy professor, teaches writing in
our first-year seminar program.  His question to me is "How do you get
students to develop critical eyes for their own papers?"   I think his
question primarily coincerns the classroom teacher, but I'm sure the
perspective of a writing center tutor would also be of interest to him.
He is specifically concerned about students' inability to develop editing
and proofreading skills.  I told him that I use bribery and threats, but I
think he is seeking a more thoughtful response.  I welcome any of
your thoughts to pass along to my colleague.
					Warm regards,
