Another recent development in writing studies has been scholarship across the disciplines showing the efficacy of reflective writing for increasing subject matter learning and for promoting mindful awareness of one's thinking processes while writing or reading. By encouraging metacognition, reflective writing can increase students' skills at self‐assessing their own drafts in progress and provide constructive help to classmates during peer review. The influence of this scholarship can be seen throughout the third edition, especially in our examples of reflective assignments from across the disciplines and in Dan's own experiences using reflections, self‐assessment, and peer review in his writing courses. Chapter 11, new to this edition, focuses explicitly on self‐assessment and peer review.
