technical writing
It's an amazing begin for peoples that need to have a first contact with the technical writing.
I enjoyed learning technical writing course from Coursera.
The entire "first week" is background information about the university and instructors, along with a short animation related to technical writing with no commentary that seems like it was made to be inserted into a video but was uploaded alone instead.
You can skip straight to Week 2 "Characteristics of Technical Writing" and not be any worse off for it.
", could've easily been combined with the course information in a text document or with "Characteristics of Technical Writing" for a more robust understanding of what technical writers do and how it relates to their writing.)
For how much the course tries to impress that technical writing should be clear, concise, and well-presented, it fails in nearly all of those aspects.It's not unwatchable and there's solid information to be found, but those are only part of what makes a quality educational video.
Great course and got great insights about Technical Writing.
Adding some Technical Writing Tools would have been even nicer.
This course was a great opportunity to learn the pros and cons of technical writing.

Is a product description an example of marketing or technical writing?
I think the information you learn about the reasons for technical writing as well as the types, and intricate parts of a body of work are valuable information.
