RE: suggestions needed for teaching a introductory college course in technical writing

["MMdeaton" <mmdeaton -at- mmdeaton -dot- com>]

Point well taken. I think I would have students dip in and out of it, but if
this is a degree or certificate course, I would hold off on it until they
clearly understood how to write and what to write.

"......I should clarify that my suggestions were more for the
instructor's benefit
to help her with ideas for putting together a course outline, and that
"Managing..." contains information not appropriate for beginning
students,
not necessarily for use as a textbook......."

From: Kathy
I don't know that I would agree that "Managing..." is not appropriate
for beginning students.  While it is extremely comprehensive and perhaps
overwhelming for a beginner, I think it provides a great deal of
background of how projects progress in an ideal (but not necessarily the
real) world and gives insight to the overall project.  I do agree that
Managing...." isn't appropriate as a textbook but it is a terrific
 reference tool.
