“…How you look and dress expresses your personality just as much as your speech and conduct do" (p. 524). Unlike Kolin (2014) and Johnson-Sheehan (2015), the writers here leave what "professional" means open to interpretation; yet these excerpts are particularly interesting given that for some transgender individuals, feeling "good" or "confident" about one's appearance might actually conflict with workplace expectations should they not be able to completely engender their gender identity. In addition, given that transgender students might not know what "suitable professional attire" might be for their desired gender (Sager, Gustafson, & Byrd, 2006;Scott, Belke, & Barfield, 2011), this more ambiguous wording may also not be very helpful for transgender students.…”

“…Johnson-Sheehan (2015) states that "A female speaker might wear a blouse and dress pants or a nice skirt. Men might wear a shirt, tie, and dress pants" (p. 599) and Kolin (2014) suggests that "Women should wear a businesslike dress or suit; men should choose a dark suit or sportcoat, white or blue shirt, and a tasteful tie" (p. 401). Advice such as this, though well intentioned, can give students the illusion that all bodies in their class conform to one of these two binaries.…”

“…The researcher then assessed the final draft, both atomistically and holistically. Both versions were compared and categorized in terms of four general tenets for assessing persuasive writing: focus, support, organization, and writing conventions (Elbow and Belanoff, 2000; Kolin, 2010; Ober, 2009). The proposal was worth a total of 30 points, and the four tenets contributed the following points: focus: 7, support: 14, organization: 4, and writing conventions: 5.…”

“…Revision-phase benefits extend to the reviewer as well. First, reviewers must become familiar with the four dimensions generally accepted as essential for assessing writing: (a) focus, (b) support, (c) organization, and (d) writing conventions (Elbow and Belanoff, 2000; Kolin, 2010; Ober, 2009). Second, since peer review generally incorporates both written and verbal communication between the reviewer and the author, the reviewer may also gain practice in annotating diplomatic comments and questioning colleagues in intelligent and adaptive ways.…”

“…When used specifically for job applications, these online documents enable graduating students to compete in the job market. Creating a portfolio increases their chances of getting an interview because it allows them to make preliminary rhetorical choices that showcase the best samples of their academic and professional work from a prospective employer's point of view (Conference on College Composition and Com munication, 2007;Kolin, 2010;Siemens, 2004). It also helps our students to develop technological skills and flexibility during the job-application process (Blair & Monske, 2009).…”
