However, with the widespread use of computer technology, there have been changes in academic writing processes in universities. In addition, little attention has been paid to the writing processes of STEM undergraduates. Through multi method research, this paper investigates the development of writing processes of STEM undergraduates in Lancaster University over degree programmes in different disciplines. The results firstly indicate the increasingly computer-mediated nature of their writing processes. Secondly, they demonstrate how writing processes diverge over degree programmes according to STEM discipline. The writing processes of first year undergraduates in different disciplines were similar, consisting of initial planning, computer-mediated and handwritten drafting and an emphasis on local revision, assisted by Microsoft Word. By the third year, their writing processes comprised recursive planning, largely computer-mediated multiple drafting, and, recursive and comprehensive (global and local) revision, which also involved high levels of peer literacy mediation. These results have helped to update our understanding of the writing processes of STEM undergraduates. There are also implications for how we teach writing and work with colleagues in STEM disciplines.. Revising. “The more natural a piece of writing seems, the more effort the writer has probably put into revising. Revising is so important that some writers say that writing . is. revising; they reinforce the point by calling their first drafts ‘zero drafts’.” .

Expert writing advice from the editor of the Boston Globe best-seller, The Writer\'s Home CompanionDissertation writers need strong, practical advice, as well as someone to assure them that their struggles aren\'t unique. Joan Bolker, midwife to more than one hundred dissertations and co-founder of the Harvard Writing Center, offers invaluable suggestions for the graduate-student writer. Using positive reinforcement, she begins by reminding thesis writers that being able to devote themselves to a project that truly interests them can be a pleasurable adventure. She encourages them to pay close attention to their writing method in order to discover their individual work strategies that promote productivity to stop feeling fearful that they may disappoint their advisors or family members and to tailor their theses to their own writing style and personality needs. Using field-tested strategies she assists the student through the entire thesis-writing process, offering advice on choosing a topic and an advisor, on disciplining one\'s self to work at least fifteen minutes each day setting short-term deadlines, on revising and defing the thesis, and on life and publication after the dissertation. Bolker makes writing the dissertation an enjoyable challenge.
