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)</span>, so I'm leaning toward leaving it out.

<b>Subject:</b> [EXT] [ATTW-L] technical editing class -- hard-copy markup?</font>
<div> </div>
</div>
<div><font size="2"><span style="font-size:11pt">
<div>Hi, colleagues.<br>
<br>
I have a question, and I'd like your input.<br>
<br>
I'm updating my Technical Editing class, and I'm pondering whether to <br>
keep or cut the unit on hard-copy markup. I taught this unit in years <br>
past to good effect, but now that most editing is done electronically, I <br>
wonder if hard-copy markup is a dead skill.<br>
<br>
If you were to (or if you actually do) teach a course on technical <br>
editing, would you teach hard-copy markup?<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance for your thoughts.<br>
