Try It #2: Analyzing a Technical Document

You can use the online texts, any notes that you have, and the available course pages in Canvas for help as you work on these questions. You can also talk to one another.

What You Need to Do

Try out the process of analyzing a technical document by applying the description of what a technical writer does from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics to a Virginia Tech webpage.

How This Activity Connects to the Course

You will use a similar process when you analyze a website for your first Major Project in the next weeks. You are practicing the analysis this week.

Assessment

Canvas automatically marks your work Complete when you submit it. All you have to do is TRY the activity. It’s okay if you make mistakes. Recognize however that if you have not put in an effort to do the work, I may remove the Complete mark.
