Critical Thinking through Writing in Information Systems Courses

One of the guiding assumptions of the IS2002 Model Curriculum is that all Information Systems professionals "must have good interpersonal communication and team skills;" namely writing skills. In this paper, the author addresses one way of giving information systems students practice with writing skills. The Non-Technology Report is a writing/research paper that helps the student develop both their writing skills as well as critical thinking skills in finding and evaluating information.

Keywords: writing skills, research skills, managerial/organizational issues, grading
