  1. Thank you! Best suggestion from Dr. Brown was to create some sort of tracker to note the paper review comments.

    1. Thanks for your comment, Cherri! We really liked that suggestion, too, and we've been playing around with the idea of creating a sort of template tracker that students could download and use. Do you think that would be helpful?

  2. Hi, sorry, haven't been here in awhile. Takes some time to find the WriteCast. YES! A tracker template would be very helpful. Organizational tools are a huge plus if they are simple which probably means a lot of work for the creator.
