Final Thoughts

Upon entering this course, I had no idea of what all I would face in the near future. While I found everything in the course to be beneficial, I particularly have gained a new respect for the power of job search documents. Not only did I not know what they were before the course, I had no idea how much they could help someone in preparing to enter the work force. I was also surprised that I could accomplish so much over the internet without even meeting my partner for the collaborative project. Although we had a good strategy, I must confess initially I had no idea that the computer would be so important to the collaborative project. Lastly, I gained an overall appreciation and understanding of technical writing in general. From the beginning of the course when we were asked to define technical writing, I immediately realized how technical writing is in every profession. Although the syllabus did not give us specific pages to read in the handbook, I enjoyed using the handbook because not only did I learn more about technical writing, I feel confident that I will be able to use this book for the rest of my life. I am glad that I took this course. I can honestly say that this course will help me when I go out and look for a job. Thanks Dr Fishman. I look forward to meeting you when I return to Clemson in the Fall.
