This collection of essays focuses on both how and why assessment
serves as a key element in the teaching and practice of technical
and professional communication. The collection is organized to form
a dual approach: on the one hand, it offers a landscape view of the
activities involved in assessment - examining how it works at
institutional, program, and classroom levels; on the other, it
surveys the implications of using assessment for formulating,
maintaining, and extending the teaching and practice of technical
communication. The book offers teachers, students, scholars, and
practitioners alike evidence of the increasingly valuable role of
assessment in the field, as it supports and enriches our thinking
and practice. No other volume has addressed the demands of and the
expectations for assessment in technical communication.
Consequently, the book has two key goals. The first is to be as
inclusive as is feasible for its size, demonstrating the global
operation of assessment in the field. For this reason, descriptions
of assessment practice lead to examinations of some key feature of
the landscape captured by the term 'technical communication'. The
second goal is to retain the public and cooperative approach that
has characterized technical communication from the beginning. To
achieve this, the book represents a 'conversation', with
contributors chosen from among practicing, highly active technical
communication teachers and scholars; and the chapters set up pairs
of opening statement and following response. The overriding purpose
of the volume, therefore, is to invite the whole community into the
conversation about assessment in technical communication.
