Introduction to Technical Writing

Introduction to Technical Writing provides a rationale for teaching technical writing, but also defines technical writing and compares/contrasts it to other types of written communication. This puts technical writing into context, for you and your students. In addition, the chapter gives you several teaching tools. These include tables, which you can make into overheads, and a wide range of end-of-chapter activities. These teaching tools lend themselves to classroom discussions, assignments, and tests.
