Sept 8 - Oct 31/08 (part-time online):
Join Kathy McTaggart to enhance your occupational skills in the field of technical writing and editing. Almost every product or service on the market today comes with 'documentation' produced by one or more technical writers. This eight-week online course offers a practical introduction to technical writing and editing as a skill and a profession. We examine the role and responsibilities of the technical writer/editor, key skills and attitudes required for success, and practice introductory technical writing and editing using individual and group exercises.
