[ATTW-L] [EXT] technical editing class -- hard-copy markup?

[Smith, Jordan]

Hi Jonathan,

I'm in the same boat having taught hard-copy markup in the past but wondering whether I should keep doing it. There are many other things I'd like to prioritize in my course this semester (for example, I'm thinking through how to include a unit on editing AI-assisted/generated writing), so I'm leaning toward leaving it out.

Hope that helps,

Jordan

Hi, colleagues.

I have a question, and I'd like your input.

I'm updating my Technical Editing class, and I'm pondering whether to
keep or cut the unit on hard-copy markup. I taught this unit in years
past to good effect, but now that most editing is done electronically, I
wonder if hard-copy markup is a dead skill.

If you were to (or if you actually do) teach a course on technical
editing, would you teach hard-copy markup?

Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
