Mindful Technical Writing: An Introduction to the Fundamentals

Abstract

This book’s modular design and ample coverage of topics and genres means that it can be used flexibly over semester-long or stretch courses, allowing instructors and students to select the chapters that are most relevant for their needs. By blending new material with reviews of key topics, such as academic integrity, the chapters provide fresh perspectives on matters vital to the development of strong writing skills. This book was made possible thanks to support from Montana Technological University’s Faculty Seed Grant Program and the TRAILS (Treasure State Academic Information and Library Services) Open Educational Resources Program, funded by the Office of the Commission of Higher Education, Montana University System. The authors gratefully acknowledge this assistance, which helped grow an embryonic idea for a textbook into to a fully developed student success effort.
