Each and every chapter is devoted to helping students understand that good technical writing is situationally-aware and context-driven. Technical writing doesn't work off knowing the one true right way of doing things-there is no magic report template out there that will always work. Instead, the focus is on offering students a series of approaches they can use to map out their situations and do research accordingly UR - https://open.umn.edu/opentextbooks/textbooks/769 ER -
