  • Abstract
    Five class exercises are suggested for inclusion in the syllabus of any course in technical writing or technical communications. The exercises are designed to develop strategic decisions in writing and publishing. They cast the student in the role of a decision maker instead of a learner, whose sole class work is drill in basic principles.
