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.
I am teaching a course called "Business and Professional Writing" at Texas
A&M University - Corpus Christi. The course is an introductory junior
level course geared toward technical writing and it is required of all
criminal justice majors. I also teach another junior level course called
"Writing in the Professions" that has a broad range of majors and some
students who really aspire to be technical writers. I need two things.
First, any tips you could give me as a teacher, such as what types of
introduction to technical writing do you wish you had had, or what types of
things did you do in school that have helped you most in your job. Second,
I welcome any of you to join our listservs and contribute to the discussion
in order to give the students real world information.
