     David Castro was looking for info on correspondence courses.

     I'm currently taking a correspondence course in Style in Scientific
     and Technical Writing from the University of Washington in Seattle
     (from the Tech Comm dept, in the school of Engineering). I'm in
     Oregon. I looked around my area for this type of course and couldn't
     find one. Basically, it's advanced grammar and mechanics for the
     grownup (heavens, that's me) who never learned it in school.

     Contact the University of Washington Extension at
     5001 25th Ave. NE, Box 354223
     Seattle, WA 98105-4190

     (206)543-2350

     The instructor is Susan Rhodes.

     The people in the extension office were extremely helpful over the
     phone, and the bookstore was great about shipping the books. I've just
     started, so I can't say a whole lot yet about the quality of the
     course, but it looks good so far.

     If you request a Distance Learning brochure, I think you'll find there
     are one or two other courses offered this way from the tech comm
     department. I can't find my brochure now...

     Good luck!

I fell 11 general credit units short of a BA in Technical & Professional
Writing at San Francisco State University. I'd like to know if any of the
faculty/student members of the list know of any programs that offer
technical writing-centered classes via correspondence? My local college
doesn't have openings for enrollment until Fall '97, and I'd like to take
care of my degree sooner than that.

Thanks.
