Re: revising a tw course
[snip]
Gentles,
It's the end of another semester teaching tech writing, and I'm itching to revise my syllabus. I'm wondering what projects you think should be included in a beginning tech writing course. I'm afraid that my requirements, once pretty stringent, have become less so as software gets more sophisticated and students become more familiar with document design principles.
Here are the projects I currently require, each with its own strictures and guidelines:
1. a machine-readable resume
2. a cover letter
3. a personal web site
4. a group web site
5. a tri-fold brochure
What do you think? I noticed that many students had time on their hands in class, and that makes me think that this workload is too light. Is this too much of a bunny course now? Is there another assignment I should include? Should I ditch any of these?
Umm, Joe? Which part of that is tech writing?
