The following table summarizes the technical writing courses:
| Title | Summary | Pre-Class | In-Class |
|---|---|---|---|
| Technical Writing One | Learn the critical basics of technical writing. Take this course before taking any of the other courses. | 2 hours | 2 to 2.5 hours |
| Technical Writing Two | Practice four intermediate topics in technical writing. | 1 hour | 2 to 2.5 hours |
The pre-class components introduce topics; the in-class components help students integrate and practice those topics. That said, the pre-class work, by itself, provides significant educational value.
Google provides all the materials needed to run the in-class sessions at your own organization. If you'd like to facilitate the in-class sessions for your organization, please see Facilitating Technical Writing Courses.
We've aimed Technical Writing One and Technical Writing Two at the following audiences:
- software engineers
- software engineering or computer science students
Additionally, many people in engineering-adjacent roles (such as product managers) have also benefited from these courses.
