Title: Book reviews: Writing in nonacademic settings Authors: Lee Odell; Dixie Goswami; Rick A. Eden Venue: IEEE Transactions on Professional Communication Year: 1987 Canonical: doi:10.1109/tpc.1987.6449052 URL: https://doi.org/10.1109/tpc.1987.6449052 Collector: openalex OA: false ABSTRACT A few years ago I attended the Technical Writing Institute at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (that's TWIRP, unfortunately) which runs concurrently with the Technical Writing Institute for Teachers (TWIT, to double the ignominy). Although the Institutes share a foyer and a few major speakers, they have different directors (one of whom is Lee Odell, co-editor of the anthology above), and for the most part their respective attendees participate in separate sessions. When the coffee break is over, it's TWITs to the left, TWIRPs to the right.
