Materials and Technology Requirements

Textbook: We will be using the Technical Writing Online located http://www.io.com/~hcexres/textbook/.

I will be providing readings online and requiring you to research and submit the materials which you find.

We will begin using research materials starting with the first unit during the second week of class.

Wordprocessing: I will be using Microsoft Word to comment on your essays; therefore, it is important that you have this available to write your essays.
