Harper Technical Writing
E103 Project 1: Summary Exercise/Technical Writing
Definition (7 pts.)
Project Overview/Description
In 1-2 pages, write a summary and response to the article entitled "Ten Technical Communication Myths" (2000). Then, develop a working definition of "technical writing" that integrates your response to that article with your experiences at work, your experiences with technical communication (if any), and your experiences with technology, even experiences from childhood. (For instance, many children spend a lot of time when they are young building simple technological objects out of things such as Legos, Erector sets, and the like.)

Your project should take the form of a memo to me.
