Hello everyone. Welcome to my blog for ENGL 301 technical writing.
Within this blog, I hope to document my journey of learning technical writing skills in this course. I’ll be posting the assignments on the “BLOG” page that you can easily find on the top bar of the blog site, as well as my personal biography on the “BIO” page. The assignments will be corresponding to the topics such as memos, e-mail, letters, and others that will help us succeed in everyday communication.
A little bit of myself. I am currently a third-year Nutrition Science student working part-time in the pharmacy that I wish to become a health care professional in one day.
As a student who has just started working with doctors, pharmacists, and other healthcare professionals, I find myself not confident in technical writing. Sending e-mails, leaving memos, and reporting current issues have always taken tons of time for me to make it sound a little bit professional. By taking this course, I hope to improve and build my confidence by practicing writing, learning new skills, and discussing writing strategies with peers. Thus, it helps me increase my work efficiency and allows me to have efficient communication with patients and my colleagues.
Certainly, I would love to make new friends in this course and to help each other through their technical writing skills learning journey. Working with groups of people can not be more engageable. Since this course is offered on an online learning platform that might be hard to see everyone in person, I am excited to connect with you all through comments on my blogs or Primary ENGL 301 class chat functions. I will be very glad to answer and respond to your comments and questions.
Looking forward to seeing your comments and valued thoughts,
Christine Hsiao
