This page shows some of Maggie’s best pieces from English 301 technical writing course.
Definition assignment: The purpose of this assignment was to write definitions of a complex technical terminology to the general audience. The technical term I chose was “synapse”, which is commonly used in Biology and Physiology. The process of wiring the term has strengthened my understanding of “synapse” because I have to understand it very well in order to simplify it enough for the non-technical audience.
