Lesson 3: The Importance of Word Choice and Consistent Writing
Homework - optional reading and exercises
* Read Chapter 19 of your textbook, "Writing Clearly" * Read Chapter 18 of your textbook, "Style Guides: Not Just a Fashion Statement" * Choose your favorite technical book and read one chapter. Does that chapter maintain a constant voice? Does it use a consistent style? Is all of the terminology defined in the text? * Now choose a technical book you don't like and perform the same analysis. * Compare your two analyses. Was the book you like more consistent than the one you don't?
