TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Just because (most) R&D graduates had to write a thesis at some point,
does not meant that their thesis was/is well written.
When you're studying science and technology, the writing that you have to
produce on a daily basis is minimal, verging on non-existent. Most of the
writing I did at university consisted of: Given <formula1> we deduce that <formula2>. We
therefore conclude that <formula3>.
The final thesis for a MS is often the first serious piece of writing that
students have to produce. Frankly, looking back on some of those papers, I
am horrified at the results (often, total incapacity to explain anything,
present ideas in an organized way, and even to spell!)
Even practicing scientists and researchers have trouble with writing. A
quick search on scientific publications can show that some cannot explain
their own work, let alone the work done by someone else!
