RE: Tech Writing Courses at SFU

["Darren Barefoot" <darren -dot- barefoot -at- capeclear -dot- com>]

I'll second Bruce's sentiment here...while SFU (as well as UVic, my alma
mater) have decent communications/writing programs for the high school
graduate, it's not the place I'd go for specific job training or
instruction in tools. Based on reputation and anecdotal evidence, my
first choice of the institutions that Bruce mentioned is BCIT. Of
course, it may also be the appeal of their downtown campus. My 0.02.
Thanks. DB.
