Hello all:

I am currently co-teaching a technical writing course at a college in Toronto. I have always wondered if adding some special topics like the ones described before is a good idea. I mean, we do have to keep in mind that technical writing does not necessarily mean writing on technical topics.

I would be very happy to hear your opinion on this.


Good point, Flore. Because even when the technical writing IS on technical topics, it might not be about computers!

Win, who doesn't write online help (and who doesn't use FrameMaker, but that's another topic of discussion!)
