A Beginner's Guide to Technical Communication (B.E.S.T. Series) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a great reference for writing techincal protocols and test reports. In my opinion, however, it is not worth the ~$50 NEW BOOK price. $15 would be more appropriate considering it is soft cover and 90 pages.
Find a good used copy from one of the Amazon Marketplace vendors and save yourself some $$$.

The focus of this text is to teach engineering students the skill of technical writing. The book is unique in that it gets to the point, uses practical outlines throughout,and shows students how to produce the most common technical documents step-by-step, in a manner that is fun and interesting to students. Each chapter has an end-of-chapter critique which allows students to implement what they have learned in the chapter.
With ABET increasing the emphasis on technical writing,this affordable, straightforward, easy-to-understand text with flexible coverage, would be a perfect fit for your technical writing course.
