Thanks for bringing up a great point. As an undergraduate, I was required to take a technical writing course but sadly enough, that course was very similar to any other Humanities course. The closest exposure to technical writing was provided by the Capstone course. But now going through the part 1 of this MDD course, I have come across many documents that I hadn’t even heard the names of before.

While working, initially I was given the task of fixing up many documents related to the softwares that were already in production. I had to really learn it the hard way on the job by getting help from my team. I would definitely agree that a technical writing course related to the major should be offered to provide a more practical learning experience.
