Use of real materials makes the class relate well to the work environment, improves self-esteem, critical thinking, and student motivation. Drawbacks include the problem of finding materials, a lack of course continuity, a lessening of use of the class text, and legal implications. Overall, the use of real materials for classroom editing is recommended. http://tc.eserver.org/23562.html http://tc.eserver.org/23562.html This paper reports the results of a survey of senior Business and Engineering majors conducted at the University of Cincinnati.
