'In order for today’s students to succeed in the world they must know how to learn, how to apply what they learn, and how to communicate those applications to others. Producing Technical Communication teaches students to understand and perform technical communication in a real world way through engaging in the process, rather than simply reading about it. The book begins by addressing the importance of technical communication and its applicability to everyday skills, from writing a resume to preparing an oral report. Students learn the theoretical elements of technical writing as a form of communication that integrates a variety of tools and separates individual skills. The text then focuses on practical elements beginning with the planning, creating, and revising stages of the process. Topics include brainstorming, discovering and refining a topic, mapping, appropriate use of time, and preparatory techniques. the book also addresses coherence, seeking feedback, fallacies, tone, and sexist language. Complete yet concise, Producing Technical Communication is suited for courses at both the high school and university level.Peter Porosky earned his M.F.A. in fiction writing and English at the University of Oregon.
