ENGL 303 Technical Editing

Technical editing is a professional activity that allows students to analyze the ways editors work and to learn how information is evaluated before professional publications or distribution. The levels and types of editing, principles of hardcopy and softcopy editing, and methods of working with writers, editors, copy editors, and proofreaders to produce usable technical and scientific information are emphasized. Students work with samples of computer-based and printed information but also edit materials for professional writers.
