Technical and Business Communication in Two-year Programs

Technical and Business Communication in Two-year Programs

Release: 1983
Genre: Business & Economics
ISBN:

Designed chiefly for the growing number of technical and business writing teachers in two year colleges, this collection of articles helps teachers understand technology and business students so that they can teach courses that satisfy the writing needs of those students. Written by practicing teachers or writers, the articles offer viewpoints on central issues. Principal assignments in freshman and sophomore courses in technical and business writing are given primary emphasis. Because of their multidisciplinary orientation, many of the selections are presented as resources for teachers in writing-across-the-curriculum programs. The articles are divided into six parts, arranged essentially in the order that teachers would use the materials. Each part addresses a central concern of teaching technical and business communication in two year programs: (1) preparing to teach the subject for the first time, (2) designing the basic course, (3) broadening the basic course or designing a program, (4) developing classroom strategies, (5) constructing effective assignments, and (6) teaching report writing. The book ends with an extensive bibliography of resources designed to help teachers of technical and business writing grow as professionals. (HTH)

A Concise Guide to Technical Communication

Genre: Reference
ISBN: 1770487603

This compact but complete guide shows that less is more—with fewer extraneous details getting in the way of students trying to learn on the run, it allows them to focus on the most important principles of effective technical communication. The Concise Guide takes a rhetorical approach to technical communication; instead of setting up a list of rules that should be applied uniformly to all writing situations, it introduces students to the bigger picture of how the words they write can affect the people intended to read them. Assignments and exercises are integrated throughout to reinforce and test knowledge.
