To supplement this immersion reporting, the researcher conducted extensive background research on the literature of grief, which enhanced the interview process. The use of expository material and empathetic questioning enabled subjects to recall emotions or reactions when discussing their experiences. Counselors, therapists, and grief experts were consulted to gain insights into the grieving process and to interpret the three personal accounts. As a work of literary journalism, the researcher employed narrative writing techniques, where feasible, to dramatize factual material.Department of JournalismThesis (M.A.

The traditional approach focused on the quality of the finished product. In the last decade, some communication scholars have studied techniques utilized by English departments to enhance student creativity and productivity by stressing the importance of the entire writing process. More recently, writing instructors have worked to integrate product and process approaches. The goal of this research was to identify the extent of pedagogical agreements and differences among writing faculty of the Ball Slate University Journalism Department as part of a mission to improve student writing skills. Sixteen faculty members representing 5 educational sequences completed a Q sort to classify attitudes toward writing instruction as product- or process-oriented. The Q study revealed 2 faculty attitudes regarding their identification with and reactions to writing product or writing process. The data show that the 2 groups have similar reactions to new strategies to enhance writing instruction with a goal to improve student writing skills.

Objectives included assessing the multidimensionality of the MCWAM and the nature of positive and negative attitudes toward writing. Using a pretest, posttest approach, this study produced in-depth information on two factors of students: Optimists/Professionals and Doubters/Pessimists. After a sixteen-week semester, the Optimists/Professionals remained very positive about writing and the relevance of writing skills. By contrast, the Doubters/Pessimists grew even more negative toward the writing experience.
