Tech Comm Review

Decent condition, but all pages were there and everything could be read easily. Some highlighting. Good price.

Good Condition

I received the book in a great condition and in good timing. I'm very please! Thank you!

Great Textbook!!!

This book has everything you need to know about Technical Writing and Communication. Even things you probably don't need to know. It goes above and beyond the call of duty.

Great technical writing on technical writing!

You can tell that Markel is truly a student of this craft. He follows his own advise throughout the book using bulleted lists and reitteration to nail home his point. The steps he leads students through are the exact ones he followed to write the book. It really helped to see the author enthused about his subject and practicing it in the reading. Regardless of the edition, great book on this relatively unknow yet in-depth subject!

Interesting and real world scenarios

I teach technical writing at a community college and frequently switched textbooks until I discovered Mike Markel's. It is well organized, gives 8 measures of excellence in technical writing that students quickly grasp, has very up-to-date scenarios that prompt critical reading and writing and the online quizzes and resources are the frosting on the cake. This book is a great tool for educators, students and absolutely anyone who wishes to write in a professional manner.
