Technical communication is crucial and much needed in all professions, as it helps people interact with the technology in their daily lives and solve complex problems.\u00a0It\u00a0can range\u00a0from\u00a0writing proposals, applications, reports, memo, and much more. Just like learning anything, being able to write technically requires much time and practice\u00a0to refine the skill.\u00a0Since technical writing is governed by standard principles and styles, it is necessary to have multiple\u00a0individual practices, group collaborations, and instructor consultations during the process. This course will help us carry these out through an online setting by working through a web folio, a formal report proposal, emails and memos, an application package, and a LinkedIn profile with many opportunities to edit and reflect. Through this course, I hope to learn how to set my tone\u00a0when targeting my specific audiences, how to organize and format my writings, and\u00a0the other details to remember in a\u00a0technical write-up. I believe that\u00a0technical\u00a0communication\u00a0will be very useful in anything I do in the future, whether it is for writing job applications and report proposals\u00a0to a company, or\u00a0sending\u00a0emails\u00a0to enlarge my network. Technical writing is an invaluable\u00a0skill in every organization and is something employers pay attention to when they choose their employees. Like you all, I am new to this course and new in learning technical writing. I hope that we will all work together and learn to become a group of comfortable technical writers!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"post-excerpt\">This blog is designed to showcase my experience\u00a0in taking\u00a0the technical writing course at UBC.\u00a0English 301 is designed for students coming&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":28551,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":1,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-12","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/lydiachang\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/12","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/lydiachang\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/lydiachang\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/lydiachang\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/28551"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/lydiachang\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/lydiachang\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/12\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":78,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/lydiachang\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/12\/revisions\/78"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/lydiachang\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
