Chapter 1 Post Class

• Persuasion is a powerful tool and an important element when using technical writing.
• To effectively communicate technically, one must become adept at pursuing the interests of the intended audience.
• Sometimes, multiple variations of your writing must be made to meet the differing expectations of those you're writing for.
• Examples of TC are step by step instructions and illustrations.
• The people that you're presenting to can be more visual oriented or be inclined to structured answers. As a side note, the amount of information can be the same in either because of the use of pictures while having highly different amounts of space used.
• One difficulty that is faced is the degree of interactivity that the instructions provide. Would it be lists of steps or perhaps the use of the product teaches in itself.
