Posted April 23rd, 2008 by TracyC
I'm still grading your technical marketing documents; I should have them graded and returned by sometime this evening. So far, things are looking great -- any revisions that will need to be done most likely will be minor, and won't take much time at all to complete.

For this week's blog, I've attached some lecture notes on prose and technical marketing documents.

Tracy's blog 7b: white paper conclusions (and a conclusion to our white paper unit)

Posted March 6th, 2008 by TracyC

As mentioned previously, today's class is a review of sorts of items related to writing the white paper. After doing a quick read-through of your white papers (which I'll read more thoroughly this weekend), I've decided to focus today's "lecture notes" on writing effective conclusions.
