How do I teach manual writing in a four-hour seminar?
Subject:How do I teach manual writing in a four-hour seminar? From:"Peter Shea (USF)" <pshea2 -at- luna -dot- cas -dot- usf -dot- edu> To:TECHWR-L <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Tue, 4 Jul 2000 15:55:38 -0400 (EDT)
I've recently begun my hand at consulting after teaching writing for a
number of years. One problem I'm faced with is this: Many organizations
will want me to teach their staff how to write manuals (which I've done
in multi-session classes). But for the one-day seminar that many
businesses want, how do I compress the steps into a short period while
doing justice to the process? Is it even possible?
