ANNOUNCE: Summer Course in Technical Editing at UC Berkeley Extension
UC Berkeley Extension will offer a course in technical editing this summer as part of the Certfiicate Program in Technical Communication. (See link for description.)
Technical Editing (X437) is a required course for the Certificate in Technical Communication. The course includes 30 hours of instruction, assignments in a range of disciplines, case studies, and a comprehensive final exam. Carolyn Rude's Technical Editing serves as the primary text, with additional work drawn from Edward Tufte's Visual Explanations: Images and Quantities, Evidence and Narrative and Joseph Williams's Style: Ten Lessons in Clarity and Grace. Students receive a course reader of 30 articles selected for their discussions of current issues in the field.
Dates: Thursdays, July 6 to September 7
Time: 6:30 to 9:30 P.M.
Place: UC Berkeley Extension Center
1995 University Avenue (at Milvia)
Berkeley
Students may enroll by telephone at 510.642.4111, online at http://www.unex.berkeley.edu/enroll, by fax at 510.642.0374, or by mail to Department B, UC Berkeley Extension, 1995 University Avenue #7020, Berkeley, CA 94720-7020.
Let's get together at STC in Las Vegas! Put faces with names, make friends to hang out with during the conference, or just come for the door prizes and food. :)
More details will be forthcoming over the next few days, but there will be a social event for Whirlers at STC. Last year, we met for dinner on Monday night. If you would like to do that this year, or if you have suggestions for something else, drop me a line (lisa -at- techwr-l -dot- com). Would you enjoy a jet-lag-curing-coffee on Sunday night? Or is a sit-down dinner on Monday evening more your style? Other ideas?
Let me know your thoughts, and then keep watching this mailing and the TECHWR-L list for more information. See you in Las Vegas!
