I have been asked to conduct an introductory course on technical writing.
As part of the course, developers and programmers will be asked to do some
assignments. I need suggestions for good assignments. I have a few ideas.


I thought I could begin with asking them to write on any technical topic
they are most familiar with. I could then use these samples of writing to
determine the scope and objectives of the actual course.

After they have been through the course, I could ask them rewrite the
article again based on their learning.

I am also toying with the idea of providing them with a sample "bad" ppt and
asking them to redo it based on whatever they have garnered.

I need some more ideas on assignments. Please help.
