What I have learned in this class . . .

This class has taught me how to be a better writer by avoiding gobbledygook and adapting to the audience. I have basically concluded that the technical writer depends more on the audience than initially apparent. Clarity is important since the subject matter maybe more difficult if it comes from scientists or engineers.



This class also underscored the importance of feedback and revision. Everything can be made better and my peers can help me understand what needs to be improved. Many of our readings addressed the revision and editing process which helped me edit more.



And finally the project was a learning experience for me; I had never worked with a client like this or composed a project proposal. I had some struggles with some of it but through feedback and revision I learned a lot and believe any client based projects in the future will be better.
