Module Overview: This module will reemphasize the two-pronged approach to technical writing: content and design. We will discuss the use of simplistic writing and the need to be concise in what we write. We will also examine more closely what makes a good document and what weakens a document from the perspective of appearance.

Module Learning Objectives: To identify good technical writing from poor technical writing; to use prewriting exercises for all written documents; to write an effective newsletter summary.

Assignments: Reader/Writer Relationships; Writing a newsletter summary, with Cover Sheet.
