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

[Jonathan Arnett]

Howdy, Hive Mind.

Thanks to everyone for your thoughtful and well-considered input about 
the value of teaching hard-copy markup. It seems that, in the long term, 
hard-copy markup is akin to buggy-whip braiding, but for now, it still 
holds some potential value; I'll keep teaching the unit with the 
attitude of "you might find this useful" and reduce its grade weight.

Thanks again.
