Comments on Interviews

Amy's interview with Michael Wald.

Amy said that communication was a key to a good staff. Dr. Broker also stressed this in my interview. I think that creating a good working environment start with good communication. Also she said that illegible prescriptions cause the wrong pills to be purchased. This is where technical writing can be a very serious component at work.

Jenna's interview with Dr. April Ross.

Her doctor said that questions were a very important part of communication in her field. This is very important in correctly diagnosing the patient. Also, she said that communicating with the patient to tell them what is wrong with them and the steps to getting better. If there is any failure in this communication, the patient might stay sick or think something else is wrong with him or her.

Cathie's interview with Brice McKoy

Cathie is in a completely different field that I am. It was interesting to see how technical writing effects other people's fields. In her interview, Brice said that government agency communication with the public is the most common form in this field. Also, the communication in this field is very technical and includes a lot of jargon. This is why technical writing is so important in bring the technical terms of the government down to layman's terms that the general public can understand.
