atw: Re: 52 Hours and You are a Technical Writer - Are They Serious?

Frankly, I think it's a good thing. Doing a unit like that will give
them a much better appreciation of what tech writers do, especially if
they don't want to do it themselves, which can only be good in the long
run.

Where does it say the aim of the course is to make you
a TW after 52 hours?

> Could someone with a bit more cache contact 'Carlo'...

What did you mean here--cash? cachet? cache memory?

LaTex is free and fairly common in academic circles--isn't that
likely the reason why it's being used in a Uni course?

Come on  guys, let's not be too precious. If a TW course offered
a unit on software engineering or the scientific method, would that
be an insult to programmers and scientists?

As Peter says, it's nice that someone in a CS/software engineering
department understands that TW is worth devoting a unit to.
