RE: Tech writing course in vo-tech curriculum

["Nora Merhar" <nmerhar -at- charlesindustries -dot- com>]

It's a fine idea, although instead of replacing the comp. class with it I'd
suggest the comp. class as a prerequisite. Then I'd have the tech writing
class based around a final project in which they'd document something from
their personal specialty (whatever they are going to vocational school to
learn).
