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

[Geoff Clegg]

When I taught technical editing (as a five week summer course—it was
brutal) I skipped hard copy since we were online. I focused more on
electronic editing, editing guidelines and contract instead since my
students wanted more of that.

I think some of my comm peers have started to move away from hard copy blue
and red pens as well.
