Welcome to my Technical Writing blog!
The UBC Technical Writing course (also known as ENGL 301) is an on-line survey course designed for students across disciplines who wish to improve their business and technical communication skills. It introduces students to the distinct formats and platforms through which concepts and ideas are communicated in contemporary academia, business, and industry.
Students who successfully complete the course will emerge with an appreciation for well-written technical and professional documents and will understand the processes that allow these documents to be created and shared. They also will have experienced the processes of generating ideas, creating and revising content, giving and receiving constructive criticism, and broadcasting content on current platforms. Experiencing these processes will make them better able to produce accurate, appropriate and readable documents in their professional lives, either as individuals or as part of a group.
