TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
I have been asked to conduct an introductory course on technical writing.
As part of the course, developers and programmers will be asked to do some
assignments. I need suggestions for good assignments. I have a few ideas.
I thought I could begin with asking them to write on any technical topic
they are most familiar with. I could then use these samples of writing to
determine the scope and objectives of the actual course.
After they have been through the course, I could ask them rewrite the
article again based on their learning.
I am also toying with the idea of providing them with a sample "bad" ppt and
asking them to redo it based on whatever they have garnered.
I need some more ideas on assignments. Please help.
