Hi foolks,
Some days ago, I completed the assignment for assignment 6. In the lesson, it talked about different ideas of making sure you were able to do the task, and the assignment asked what method you’d use to complete the tasks assigned. I got a perfect score, and here’s what I wrote.
One aspect of being a technical writer is making sure the information you are delivering is understandable to the end user as best as possible. As shown in the example in my last assignment, I tried to make sure you could open word, type a document, and save it for the first time. Most people may not know how to open a program, especially if they have never used a computer before. Making sure the steps are thorough is going to help in the long run. If possible, I would try to include images and break up the manual like I did when I wrote it so they can take a break to digest the information. I also would include a table of contents like I did for this book so they can find the information they are looking for.
