Strategic Writing | TopicsNo matter what you write, as a student writer, your immediate goal is always the same: to get a good grade. To that end, this web collection describes a strategy for planning your document, developing your ideas, and revising your work.
Technical writing, because it conveys complex information, must be organized, precise, and clear; otherwise, your reader may misinterpret, devalue or completely miss your point. Because a reader should never have to struggle to figure out what you are saying, you must employ a writing strategy that ensures the efficient, accurate flow of information.
Good writing requires structure. Good structure does not simply happen. Before you begin to write, you should have a clear plan in mind for your entire document; a little time here will save you a lot of time later. While you develop your first draft, focus on one idea at a time, but link ideas together, clearly explaining how each step brings the reader closer to your conclusion. After you have finished your draft, take time to revise -- this is the most frequently neglected part of the writing task.
