Target Audience
This course will benefit anyone whose work relies on a clear exchange of technical ideas and information—at any job and level. It is well suited to jobs that require writing reports, manuals, methods, SOPs, or specifications. It’s also applicable to careers in research, sales and marketing, customer service, publishing, QA/QC, and regulatory compliance.
Course Description
Sharpen your overall writing skills and focus on the special demands of scientific and technical writing, such as objectively summarizing results and providing clear instructions in methods and SOPs. Participants learn how to write for specialized and general audiences, state technical concepts and information in simple direct English, and tackle the main obstacles that confront all writers: unclear objectives, imprecise descriptions, wordiness, inefficient organization, and poorly coordinated text and graphics.
In this fast-paced, interactive, and highly rated course (held the last six Pittcons), the instructor offers practical tips for direct application to writing projects—illustrated with real, on-the-job writing samples from a range of scientific professions.
