How to be a Thumbs-Up Trainer

Suessmuth, Patrick

Training in Business and Industry, 11, 5, 32-3, May 74

A familiar, reasonable, and superficially successful lesson in report-writing is described (small groups of students edit each other's reports for re-writing), its effect on the student analyzed (demoralization, loss of confidence, defensiveness), and an alternative, positive lesson suggested, in which highlights are circled instead of errors.
