Executive Summary
The accomplishments that I have achieve through this technical writing course is learning more about what type of writing is required in my field of study. One of the most effective assignments that I completed is the Writing assignment, which has you evaluate writing forms that are used in the workplace of your future choosing. The prompt for the first signature assignment is as follows:
Clear and concise written communication is required by employers and is an increasingly sought after skill. At the beginning of class we defined technical communication as clear and concise communication of information to a specific audience. Sometimes the audience just needs to know the information, but more often the person(s) receiving the information will use that information to perform an action—choose which product to sell, create legislation, decide whether or not to build a bridge—are just some such examples. This assignment will help you become a better writer and have confidence in your writing regardless of your major or career field.
To be a good writer you need to develop good habits. That is it. It takes time to develop the habits necessary to be able to communicate clearly and concisely but everyone can learn those habits. Technical writing is not a talent you are born with but rather something to be learned. That means everyone can learn to be a good writer.
Through my writing project, I evaluated the importance of an SOAP note, which will be an important tool that I will use throughout my career. It will help me evaluate patients care to make sure they are getting the best treatment plan. It will is a great process to help you diagnosis a patient with the signs and symptoms that they present.
The prompt for the Design Project is as follows:
Regardless of the medium (digital or print) used, ideas should be clearly and concisely communicated. If there are visual elements involved, then they should follow the four principles of design: Contrast, Repetition, Alignment, and Proximity.
The design project helps you understand the use of limiting information and using images to portray the information in a concise design.

Final Reflection
Dear Future SLCC Students,
For your future career, writing will be a key tool that you must master to be able to succeed in your future career. When taking technical writing, it will not only advance you further as a writer, but also in the field of your choice. The writing that you will do will pertain to writing that you will see in your career and prepare you for what you will need to write and address in the coming future.
It will help you build skills that will help you identify what audience you are writing too and how to portray the message you are conveying. Other courses will also see the reflection of the work being done in the course because you will learn to direct your writing and be more specific to the issue at hand, instead of rambling on about other unimportant antidotes.
Knowing what genre and type of writing you need, is an important skill that you will learn and can apply in your other courses. Even the smallest amount of writing can create an impact. Technical writing will help you process all your writing in a way that is effective. It will help you also identity the power in writing with images. Design can often be overlooked, but it’s important not only to draw in your readers but help give them the best information in a small amount.
