Welcome to the Winter 2015 session of Technical Writing. The course begins on Saturday, December 27, 2014, and you need to have the book and be ready to begin work that day.
The winter session of this course is intense. We only have three weeks to cover a lot of material. Essentially, the work that students do in a week during the Fall and Spring terms, we need to do in a day during the Winter term. We will be busy, with work and readings due for every day of the course.
To prepare for the course, please do these things:
1. Buy the book immediately. If you want the physical copy, you need to order it today so that you have it when the course starts. The ebook version is fine as well.

2. Go ahead and check out the syllabus, if you like.
3. Note that I am still working on the course website. I will send another announcement when all the assignments and other materials are ready.
