Abstract
This revision exercise is designed to help PTC students target the weaknesses of their employment project documents by asking them to run up to three text reports using Voyant-tools.org. The reports provide raw analysis and data visualizations of the language used in the employment documents, and the students are asked to critically analyze the reports on their application materials in relation to their job advertisement. Using this information, the students can revise their assignments to better suit the job or internship.
