Response to Stephen's Individual Project

I felt that you and I constructed our papers very similarly and for most of the same reasons. Like you, I supplied readers with the general definition of technical writing so they would have some understanding of the material to follow. I was impressed how you directed your second section to the real world applications of technical writing. I agreed completely with this reasoning, because I often question how the skills I learn in class will translate to the real world. I am slightly unsure what section contains the course you are proposing, but I assume that it is within section two, since you label this as the most beneficial section. I structured mine only slightly different, with my third and final section being the most important. However, I think that this structure has been mapped out well, and it allows for you to make a strong case. I am interested to see the types of information included in each of the sections based on the plan that you have devised. While it is important to show technical writing as it pertains to the field, my only suggestion would be to focus more intently on your course proposal. Continue to supply that background information, but link it back to what specific types of teaching should be aimed at students looking to enter the industry. Overall, I think you have a solid start.
