Hi all--
A representative of the local vocational technical school has asked for
input regarding a proposed change to the computer curriculum track at
the school. The message follows:
---------------------------
Sorry to impose on your time, but we are very interested in your
reaction to a proposed change we are looking to make for our required
general education class.
We are looking at requesting an additional option for our students in
the communications area. We are discussing adding a Technical Writing
class as an option in place of the composition class that all of our
students currently take. We would like this class to concentrate on
areas such as writing memos, Help Files, RFP's, program documents, etc.
along with general grammar and punctuation rules.
If you have a moment, I would really like your reaction to this possible
change.
Thanks for any time that you can take.
--------------------------
Anyone care to share their thoughts on this?
