Final thoughts.

Technical writing. Not a very enticing course name. But it fit into my schedule and was taught by a professor I didn't hate yet, so I registered. I learned a lot of useful information that will actually serve a purpose in my future, which is a lot more than I can say for many of my other. What I like about technical writing is that it is practical, and the documents created are actually relevant, seen, and used by others. You never realize how much thought and revision goes into something like instructions until you are the one writing them. Use clear and concise wording, make the font big enough to see clearly, include images when necessary. Its a lot to keep in mind. I enjoyed techincal writing much more than I thought I would because its more than just writing memos, e-mails, and leaning about margins. We were able to understand, analyze, and even create our own technical documents. Technical writing includes a lot more than just times new roman on a white 8 1/2 x 11 page. There is thought, creativity, design, and imagination that go into these documents. I can say with confidence that when I begin my career, whether it is in the teaching education field or somewhere else I will take everything I learned about creating attractvie and effective documents. I am glad that I took this class becuase I believe I am pretty good at technical writing, which is something I would not have known about myself had I not taken this class. I was able to combine my artistic/creative talents and my writing abilities to work in a new and interesting field.
