Greetings, all! Here’s the lecture for the second week of Technical Writing. In this week’s lecture, I review some points about the class and syllabus, discuss what is technical writing, and show you how to transform your reverse outline into the first draft of your 500-Word Summary project. While you watch this week’s lecture, remember to have your notebook out to write notes. Then, scroll down and complete the Weekly Writing Assignment and 500-Word Summary homework described in the two posts below.
Remember, I will have office hours on Wednesday from 3:00pm-5:00pm (the link to the Google Hangout is at the top of the syllabus). Also, you can email me at jellis at citytech.cuny.edu with your questions or to make an appointment to meet with me at another time.

Above you’ll find the first lecture of our Spring 2021 Technical Writing class. It’s important that you watch it in its entirety with a notebook out so that you may make notes and maintain engagement through the activity of note taking.
This week’s lecture is longer than most, because there is a lot of material for us to cover this first week. It includes introductions, syllabus review, writing and studying skills review, and a discussion of the first assignments.
After viewing the lecture, scroll down to see this week’s assignments–the first Weekly Writing Assignment and homework for the first project, the 500-Word Summary.
