- Abstract
The article describes the efforts of a teacher research group at the University of California at Davis to improve the quality of students' writing and looks at its implications for the classroom. The group was concerned about the laboratory report conclusions written by their upper-level chemistry, biology and ecology students because they were consistently of poor quality. They have found that the ability to reorganize data to identify trends and relationships may have a positive impact on conclusion writing.
