Technical Communication Today (4th Edition)

Dr. Johnson-Sheehan's experience as an excellent teacher (I have been a student in one of his classes) is evident in the prose of this text and the thoroughness with which he addresses recent and changing standards in the field. Though *Tech. Comm. Today* is billed as a technical communications book, it works quite well for business writing courses too. In fact, I'll be using it next semester for a senior level business writing course I teach. Chapter 3, "Readers and Contexts of Use", is an especially appropriate chapter for just about any upper-level writing course.

I'm a senior biomedical engineering major from Texas A & M, and I thought I didn't need to take technical writing. But after the course, a good teacher, and reading through a lot of this book, I realized I have much to learn. I almost don't want to sell this book back simply because it would prove to be a great resource for the future, but I need the money. The book is lacking a good project proposal section, as my teacher also said. Other than that, lots of examples (real world examples too) and a good book overall. Covers digital media as well.

Great text book, I'm only halfway through my class, but it might actually become a desk reference for me. Book arrived pretty quick, even though it shipped media mail. (It says they usually ship ground, mine didn't and I had to ask for a tracking number).

This book is like the advance or career version of a famous book known as writers inc. It helps you with how to write bussiness letters, Resumes, etc. After learning all of the contents of the book you will get a better sense on how things are done in the business world.
