Abstract
Measurements of the effectiveness of a writing course is considered especially important to those who hire consultants to teach their employees. The author presents a method of evaluating participants´ skill improvement by means of measuring their attitudes toward writing tasks before and after taking a consultant-taught course. Sample results of such pre-test and post-test analyses are given.
