| Technical writing is an essential skill for a successful
career in computer science or engineering. This course teaches writing
from an engineering perspective. We will study how to avoid common writing
pitfalls -- from punctuation through document structure. Exercises include
writing a resume, in-program documentation, a recommendation letter, and
a formal technical report. We will also learn how to give effective presentations.
This course was originally developed by Kevin Karplus and Dan Scripture in 1987. In Fall 2001, this course is being taught using WebCT. To access the course and all course materials, you must log in to http://ic.ucsc.edu:8000. You must have a user id and password.
