Purifying Charles River water“Technology, Innovation, and International Development” WR 150 Fall 2010L to R: Susie Stiles, David Conegliano, Henriette Graff, Yuzhao Wu

Final thoughts. . .
I believe this was the most useful and interesting
part of WR150 and it should be integrated into every second-level writing course. I learned to accept other opinions, work with other people, and contribute ideas to discussions.
To my surprise, when the case study was finally over, I was sad we would have to write a
standard essay for paper three and not be able to work in teams.
