Technical writing is and how it differs from other types of writing, define technical writing and its various uses or applications. Include specific examples to support your definition. Your evidence/examples should include but are not limited to, documents, subject fields, websites, etc.
Just as it’s important to recognize the purpose and methodology of technical writing, understanding the facets of an audience and how to meet its needs is critical for technical writers. For example, writers would develop a technical document much differently for a team of scientists than they would for an audience without a background in the same subject matter. In preparation for your contributions to the course discussion on the audience, read pages 89-108 from Chapter 5. Then, explain why it is important to identify the target audience of a document or presentation. Finally, describe at least four techniques that you would use to learn about your audience.
Your initial post should be at least 500 words in length. Support your claims with examples from required material(s) and/or other credible resources, and properly cite any references. Respond to at least two of your classmates’ posts by Day 7. Each response is requirfkted to meet or exceed 250 words.
