Begin by viewing the 30 minute video which consists of interviews with faculty and students from the University of Washington’s Department of Technical Communication. It was produced in 2002
by Mick Garrett, Paul Foy, Rob Frantzen, Charlie Selk and Erik Willis, and advised by Prof. Geoffrey Sauer and is featured on the companion site for Anderson’s Technical Communication’s text.
After viewing this video and reading Chapter One of your text book, complete a journal. Reflect on how building technical communication skills will contribute to your personal development of
communication expertise and enable you to make necessary and important contributions in your career goals, on campus, and as a community member.
