  • Abstract
    One of the marks of true professionalism is the ability to learn from reflection on practice. Observing the practice of themselves and others provides practitioners with essential knowledge in addition to the core knowledge of the profession. Programs in technical communication, especially graduate programs, should foster the habits and skills of reflecting on practice. This panel discussion will demonstrate ways we have incorporated reflection on learning into our degree programs in technical communication at Mercer University.
