Super fast - truthful description
I received this book REALLY FAST, and the description was entirely truthful. I would gladly buy from LiveOak again!
Got the book, cheap price, good enough quality
Got the book, cheap price, good enough quality. Pages were water damaged a bit but nothing too serious, some pages were clinging, but pulled apart with no ripping or tearing. It is was in good enough condition for wot I needed it for. That's all I cared about. Delivery was ok.
Experience is Evident in the Writing
Dr. Johnson-Sheehan's experience as an excellent teacher (I have been a student in one of his classes) is evident in the prose of this text and the thoroughness with which he addresses recent and changing standards in the field. Though *Tech. Comm. Today* is billed as a technical communications book, it works quite well for business writing courses too. In fact, I'll be using it next semester for a senior level business writing course I teach. Chapter 3, "Readers and Contexts of Use", is an especially appropriate chapter for just about any upper-level writing course.
Pretty good book
I'm a senior biomedical engineering major from Texas A&M, and I thought I didn't need to take technical writing. But after the course, a good teacher, and reading through a lot of this book, I realized I have much to learn. I almost don't want to sell this book back simply because it would prove to be a great resource for the future, but I need the money. The book is lacking a good project proposal section, as my teacher also said. Other than that, lots of examples (real world examples too) and a good book overall. Covers digital media as well.
Wrong Book
Although I specified the latest edition with tech comm lab, I received a previous edition and had to go to a local book store to buy what I needed. The seller returned my money and apologized.
