Over the past five weeks, we have covered many subjects related to technical writing. If someone asked you to prepare a written summary of this five-week course, what would you write? Summaries are often written to make long documents quickly understandable. However, as our text explains, we often have to write summaries to report on meetings, conferences, projects, or programs. Using the information you learned in Chapter 9 of the text, write a 200 – 250 word response that incorporates the elements of a usable summary and summarizes the essential messages of this COM 340 course
