Precision Writing

The ability to produce high-quality technical reports is of critical importance for environmental consultants. Unfortunately, biologists and environmental scientists are not often trained in technical writing and so there is a need for practical instruction of writing basics. To address this need, Alexandra has developed a two-part workshop that teaches basic concepts of technical writing. Palmer hired Alexandra to deliver this workshop and we found the material to be extremely helpful in improving our documents. One of the most useful parts of the workshop was the use of actual Palmer reports to illustrate common mistakes and how to fix them. This hands-on approach allowed us to immediately implement what we had been taught, which is one of the best ways to remember new information. I would highly recommend the writing workshop to anyone or any organization interested in production of high-quality technical documents.
