Abstract
Differences between letters of at-risk college freshmen written by hand and those composed on a microcomputer using a word processor were examined. The subjects spent significantly more time and undertook substantially more editing when composing letters on a microcomputer. Also, editing through deletions and/or insertions was significantly related to quality of letter. However, the mean number of words written per unit of time spent completing a letter was substantially higher for subjects' handwritten letters, while judges' holistic evaluations of letter quality did not differ significantly between the two production modes.
