Although this book was very boring one might wonder how interesting could a book on this subject possibly be? Jun 12, Ember DeBoer rated it really liked it Shelves: professional-development , teaching , non-fiction. One of the best course texts on the subject of Technical Communication I've come across.
Current and full of applicable and helpful examples. My students seem to be loving it this semester. A course text that's not a waste of money? Jun 22, Blane rated it it was amazing. Insightful and straightforward guide and excellent examples on how to improve one's technical writing skills. Good practice exercises, too.
Boring subject but author does a solid job explaining the concepts within the textbook. Unfortunately, many of the examples used in this book are outdated. Apr 14, Dominic Robin rated it liked it Shelves: project-communication.
Project Communication 6 - Textbook for my communication course. Jun 24, Brian Garber rated it did not like it. Read this for a required writing course that I took online. Course was dumb. Book wasn't great. Nov 11, MeiLing rated it liked it. Overall, I would say this book is useful. I had to read through this book for my professional English writing class for college, and found the information about citing sources to be helpful. However, much of the information about communicating through technology is outdated and isn't the best source for learning modern day bussiness and professional writing practices.
I'm sure there are better textbooks out there, but students will find some of the information in here to be helpful. I had access Overall, I would say this book is useful. I had access to this textbook online by renting it on Chegg. I went into my Technical Communications class already "done" with it. I had no intention nor belief that I would gain anything substantial or noteworthy from a course and it's corresponding book about "technical communications" as a student studying things far from such My bitter attitude soon evaporated as the world of technical communications was unraveled before me and I absorbed it like my biology teacher's definition of osmosis.
It was actually I found myself proud of and very much so wanting to show off my innumerable mass of words and graphs that I so precariously placed into crisp, clean, numbered and outlined pages. The immense level of thought, time, preparation, and execution that goes into a technical document made me appreciate and respect those writers' abilities a little bit more, as it also helped me to develop more and sharpen as a human being.
View 2 comments. Now, we didn't look at all the chapters in class, but I have found this to be really helpful! I like how it gives you examples and explains the topics you're studying very well sometimes too well! I wish that some of the chapters could have been shorter, but that's merely a formality that can be ignored if you want to write better or just want a refresher. Conclusion If you're taking some kind of professional writing course, technical writing, or just want to learn about grammar, etc.
I know that I'll be using this again in the future. This book is really outdated and is not really practical for the modern world. I mean, some of these things are useful, because some things do not change with the passing of time. All technological reference about modern technology is outdated. Seriously outdated. Some of the things do not even make sense to me, because it went out of style years ago. The book is okay, but not okay when it comes to technology.
Do not read it for that. You would be wasting your time. I haven't read every word of this book yet, but the chapters I have read have been tremendously valuable in helping me plan a career in technical writing.
