As aresult, some supervisors experience more challenges guiding the writing process than theresearch. At degree completion, these MS in CM students frequently produce satisfactoryresearch but still have poorly crafted writing for the publication submission required by the finalcapstone project. Because of the writing challenges, some have failed to complete the degreealtogether.This paper presents a brief summary of the literature describing university experiences andresponses to the limited preparation of graduate students for scholarly
