What is (this)?

2020-05-28 13:56:19 UTC

A function's this keyword behaves a little differently in JavaScript compared to other languages. It also has some differences between strict mode and non-strict mode.

In most cases, the value of this is determined by how a function is called (runtime binding). It can't be set by assignment during execution, and it may be different each time the function is called. ES5 introduced the bind() method to set the value of a function's this regardless of how it's called, and ES2015 introduced arrow functions which don't provide their own this binding (it retains the this value of the enclosing lexical context).

Request for Therapy Equipment

2022-08-29 18:15:59 UTC

As an occupational therapist you would obviously spend a lot of time working with different people in the OT rooms. There may be a piece of equipment, weather small or large, that you would like to add to the room. You may have to write out a proposal to your boss talking about all of the benefits that specific equipment would have of the different patients.

Blog Post

charcain — 2022-08-29 18:49:29 UTC

A blog post that shares information and/or ideas with the people who work together would be considered technical communication. A blog can be used by companies in order to allow their employees to provide feedback/suggestions and to connect teams of coworkers.

Adding Amendments to my Club's Constitution

2022-08-30 03:33:54 UTC

When you add amendments to a student organization constitution, you must be very clear and precise with what you are trying to convey. The club members have to be able to read the constitution with clarity, but still have the document be formal enough to be approved by the Center for Campus life. We also can't have anything that is vague. If the constitution needs to be used for elections or officer removal the instructions need to be followed correctly and with no room for interpretation.

Educational Incident Report within a Public School System

2022-08-30 20:06:21 UTC

Documenting behavior in an educational setting in an attempt to provoke analysis from campus administration and protect yourself from legal action must be sequential in events, concise, and accurate. These Incident Reports are confidential and are aimed for an audience which fully understand the situation at hand. These reports are used to make further behavioral goals and consider the safest, least-restrictive educational environment which allows for the protection of every persons involved, including the student and the teacher.

Writing a 17 page research proposal for a research grant to your Primary Investigator (research professor)

2022-08-31 01:56:58 UTC

I have had the opportunity to be a part of a research group where I was expected to write my very own research proposal so that I could convince the Primary Investigator (or the professor I worked under) that my project had enough grounds to undertake funding and grants. I believe this to be technical writing because it is the sharing of information in an academic and professional setting with the intent of being conscience and straightforward. It has to be extremely formal since it is going to someone of the position to accept or deny your project funding. It has to be very methodical and detailed since the research professor typically has the same if not more knowledge about the subject you are writing about and will be very critical of the things you write. While it is very bland writing lacking most emotion and any figures of speech, it still needs to be technical in principle and requires a very formal tone to convey your meaning from a qualified position.

Lab Report

2022-08-31 04:38:17 UTC

An example of technical writing is preparing a lab report for inorganic chemistry. Included in the lab report is a basic introduction to the topic or experiment, the materials needed, step-by-step instructions on how to complete the lab, data collection, and a conclusion. One must be able to give detailed, clear instructions for other scientists to follow. Additionally, the scientist must be able to draw a conclusion by tying together all of the data and background knowledge that they have.

Product Roadmaps

2022-08-31 21:59:47 UTC

In the financial technology industry, we often have to create product roadmaps to demonstrate to clients and internal employees the vision, direction, progress, and end result of a product's development overtime. Technical products are always evolving, so when a product is purchased by a client, we need to clearly articulate how the product will evolve over time and demonstrate what features will be added and what their functionality will look like.

QA Release Findings

2022-09-01 12:55:41 UTC

In my job as a software Quality Assurance (QA) Engineer, I create various documents and types of writing, whether informal or formal e-mails, new feature documentation, feedback, reviews, or instructive installation and testing guides.
However, the mostmy most icriticaltechnical writing onthly software release cycle report. In this report, I document all the changes/fixes/new features in the software release package I have tested with my team and share our findings. This report doesn't have a mandatory structure, but I keep it clear, concise, and easy to follow. Each tested fix/feature is bulleted with a brief description, and findings are color-coded in green "PASSED" or red "FAILED." Then, I briefly explain and prove my findings with screenshots, error logs, or whatever else helps the Developers fix any bugs found. This report is e-mailed to the team before our Go / No-Go meeting for them to reference and follow along as the QA team goes through it. Then, depending on the severity of bugs found, we decide whether the entire software release is a "Go" (meaning it can be safely pushed to production for release into the real world), or a "No-Go" (something is so broken that the release is delayed until the problem is fixed by Developers and retested all over again.)

Patient Charts

2022-09-01 18:09:50 UTC

Collecting background information on patients and entering it into charts is considered technical communication.

Ingredient Lists

2022-09-02 18:10:00 UTC

When you check the ingredient lists on food, toiletries, or medicine, you can clearly see the items' contents. This form of technical communication is extremely important, especially for those individuals who are allergic or sensitive to certain ingredients. The format of the ingredient list is also universally understood to list the most concentrated ingredients first on the list and the least last on the list. Underneath this list, there is a bold line that says "Contains..", with common allergens listed clearly and separately. The information is easily interpreted and relays information by the way it is formatted.

Product Manual for Installing/Repairing A Cable System

2022-09-05 04:15:43 UTC

When installing a new cable system (whether it be Comcast, AT&T, Dish, etc.), you are given a product manual that perfectly illustrates the proper instruction and communicates to a person the written steps to install your new device successfully. This form of technical communication shows a detailed outline of how the system is supposed to function. It will list general information, steps to install, what to do when an error occurs, and the contact information for customer service if you need more assistance.

End of Year Financial Report

2022-09-05 19:29:39 UTC

This would be considered technical writing because I would need to compile various sets of data such as balance sheets, streams of cash flow, assets/liabilities, and more. I would need to organize this data methodically as well as provide an analysis on the overall performance of the business and my recommendations on how to improve an organizations business practices going forward. This also fits the description of technical writing since my report would be presented to organization leadership such as the board in a professional and informational way. My report would need to be concise, accurate, and detailed to allow the business to adjust and improve their practices going forward.

Electronic Device Manual

Kayler_PHSEng — 2022-09-06 21:42:36 UTC

When you purchase a new electronic device, a manual with a troubleshooting section is provided. This allows a person having issues with the device to narrow down the problem by following specific instructions in the manual. If you purchase a used device without a manual, it's usually relatively easy to find the device manual online. This technical writing is helpful and often saves a person time and money, as they do not have to take the device to a repair shop.

Installation Instructions for a large furniture project

2022-09-07 02:23:35 UTC

On a large project, you need to have very detailed instructions that tell what items go where. It is important to be very concise and descriptive. Drawings, 3Ds and pictures of upholstery are very important. Installers do not care about the selling points of an item, just where it goes.

National Guard Newsletters and The Purpose

baileyscarborough02 — 2023-01-09 18:15:29 UTC

Throughout my time in the National Guard each month before a drill weekend we are emailed something called a newsletter. It is professional, rhetorical, and purposeful. The entirety of the weekend is charted in a manner that explains to everyone in a clear and concise manner what to prepare for, where to be, and why. The letter gives everyone a form of contact, the problem/ objective that needs to be complete, and every action that will help complete that objective.

Working as a nanny

2023-01-09 20:22:15 UTC

I have been a nanny for the past few years and whenever I meet a new family, the parents and I discuss the expectations and how the child should be taken care of. Some kids may have very busy days and the parents need to communicate to me when they need to get to soccer practice, what time dinner is ready or, how bath time goes. There is a way to do everything and in order to be a good nanny I need to know the order of how their day goes.

Emergency Response Procedures

Newsletter for student organization

2023-01-10 01:05:14 UTC

Today, I wrote and designed a newsletter promoting an organization that I am the president of. The pamphlet used technical language, but the design of the newsletter was also important, with bolded and colored fonts emphasizing its most important features. I also used the club's email rather than my personal student email to make it more professional and Bcc to preserve the members' anonymity.

Training Manual

2023-01-10 03:08:28 UTC

Anyone who starts a new job has to go through some kind of training, and many of these jobs have courses or manuals for this training. Any writing or formatting that goes into making these would be considered technical writing.

-Rachel Presten

Employer Background Check

2023-01-10 06:06:15 UTC

An example of technical writing is the written explanation of an employer background check when applying for a job. The written statement is typically lengthy but all outlines are described. Although it is illegal to discriminate, the check goes into detail of a potential candidate's background/history and to ensure a company is hiring who the candidate says that they are along with any aspects to protect a company legally.
- Shelby Hall

Application for Specialized Team

2023-01-10 08:22:02 UTC

One example of technical writing can be a formal application to be a part of a specialized team. At my job, I had to write a formal email requesting to apply to be on a specialized team and attach the appropriate documents as well.

Software Development

2023-01-10 11:49:26 UTC

One example I can think of based off the chapter would be application development. In a previous role, my team had to work together to describe features we wanted to see in an updated software. The information had to be presented in a very technical way, and then it was sent over to the team that was working on developing and updating the software.

Music Lesson Books

2023-01-10 16:01:11 UTC

A music lesson book gives instructions on how to play an instrument correctly. They define music symbols and musical terms so that the musician is able to perform the song in the best way possible. Music teachers use the information in music books to instruct their students on how to play an instrument and perform songs well. If a music book's instructions are clear and easy to follow, people can use it to teach themselves how to play an instrument without needing a music teacher to explain everything.
- Eliana Feagins

Instruction Manuals

2023-01-10 16:44:36 UTC

One example that I can think of is an instruction manual. They have to describe how to put something together or how to do something depending on what it is trying to teach you. It has to be written professionally but easy to read so anyone can understand it.

Project Specs - Harrison Cooper

2023-01-10 19:00:35 UTC

Specs for a project are very important to all those pursuing a project. They need to communicate what types of work needs to be done on a project, and the specifics that need to be followed to correctly reach a finished project.

Hardware and Software Documentation

2023-01-11 00:22:12 UTC

One thing that comes to mind for me about a technical document would be things like a programming language reference document. A programmer can use this to help with solving programming problems. Another technical document would be something like an Integrated Circuit documentation that shows the pins outs for a certain chip in a circuit.
Trey Morris

Research Manuscripts

2023-01-11 04:10:22 UTC

Such as a research manuscript about a study of the psychological effects of the prison system on the human mind. Research manuscripts have a specific, professional audience. They are geared towards other scientists, professors, etc. It has professional language, a specific design (intro, method, procedure, results, discussion, etc). It has a purpose to deliver the results and overall hypothesis of the study. It is there to communicate to other researchers that this study took place and here are the results. It is clear, concise, professional, ethical, and geared toward a specific audience.

-Avery Parker

Research Abstracts

2023-01-11 14:29:37 UTC

Research abstracts and other types of publications can be considered technical writing. For example, I did research for a while and we had to write many and many abstracts so that our research project could get the funding necessary, as well as getting published. And in those cases it's very important that those papers are written as formal and technical as possible so that there isn't any sort of misinformation being spread.
-Yasmim Saes

Request for New Office Equipment

2023-01-11 15:40:08 UTC

When requesting for more office equipment, you have to dive into the specifics and explain why your office needs the equipment. When requesting, you cannot say "We need new office equipment" and expect what you were hoping for. You have to dive into the specifics such as "We need new PCs as the ones we are using haven't been upgraded since 2007 and cause multitudes of problems. The PC we recommend and believe would solve our problems are the iMac 24" 8 Core CPU and 8 Core GPU." Being exact and percise with your reasoning will see better results than being broad with your terms and reasoning.

Project Plans - Matthew DaCosta

2023-01-11 16:09:09 UTC

A project manager can create project plans at the beginning of a project. It can outline all the goals and guidelines that need to be followed for it to be accomplished correctly. It must have a defined scope/and the resources needed to meet completion.

Campus Brochure

2023-01-11 18:33:33 UTC

I would consider a campus brochure to be an example of this. The brochure would have to give specific information to a specific target audience -- college folks, high-school graduates, parents, etc., thus it to focus on a specific audience. Additionally, it would have to be honest with the facts and details it lists out; careful to speak of its enrollment rate, the amount of majors and minors it contains, and how well of a college it is. Furthermore, a college brochure must also maintain a professional standard of language to bring in new students, but also be easy enough to read. Lastly, the appearance has to be appealing, or else students and families alike will disregard it as a whole.

Prosthetic Design - Wisdom Tonge

2023-01-11 18:58:06 UTC

When it comes to designing prosthetics piece of paperwork has to be in order before the process of making the physical copy is allowed to proceed. For example, blueprints (drawings), AutoCAD design (fully defined), 3-D printed version trial run, patients' approval, logistics approval, and much more. It has to pass the logic, moral, and ethical tests in order for it to be safe for public use. Any miss-spelling or grammatical error on any of the papers would lead to a domino effect of problems, such as missed place pieces, missing paperwork, bad organization review, and an unsatisfied customer.

Legal Document Writer

2023-01-11 19:04:20 UTC

A legal writer writes for legal firms and industries which require intensive knowledge of legal terminologies. They may be required to write stuff such as contracts, legal documentation, agreements, etc. .

Housing office documentation

2023-01-11 20:42:14 UTC

Based on the chapter and the notes, emailing the housing office or anything regarding housing stability is one way of technical writing. Emailing properly in the housing office will not only help commuter coordinators and other workers to understand what you’re going through and what you need help with, but it can also help you’d be able to have a better solution to a problem by documenting the specific time place an area of help that is needed.

Proposal for App Development Team

2023-01-11 20:42:53 UTC

As an App Developer, there is an incentive to write clear and concise language so that the team can work in a fashionable order. There has to be specific details and instructions that are proposed in order for the teams to type away. The validity of funding, communication, and resources are also vital to the creation of Apps. There has to be a viable way of pushing the "product" to the manager and team for the job in a way that doesn't include emotion or needless clutter. Technical Writing is often used in a STEM workplace because it has to be straightforward and non-ambiguous to deliver most times a complex and inventive idea.

Torque Specifications

2023-01-13 01:43:21 UTC

In most modern machinery, parts are designed to fit together with certain tolerances and strength ratings. Technical documentation on the amount of torque specified for the fasteners in the system allows engineers to design systems that can be reliably replicated by following the documentation they create. Occasionally more info is needed on specifics orders that fasteners must be tightened in, or what type of safety redundancies have to be added. e.g safety wire on airplane components, plastic arrows on bus wheels

Research Articles

2023-01-13 16:42:48 UTC

In many different areas of science, research articles are used to present crucial information that was resulted from a study. In these articles, there are different sections that allows a specific audience to have a better understanding of the conducted study. In addition, research articles must use concise and clear writing to allow readers to comprehend the significance of the study. By including technical writing in research articles, it allows other researchers to use the results of the study for future practices, or it allows researchers to replicate the study for better reliability and validity of the results.

Advance Change Notice

2023-01-14 16:04:09 UTC

Technical manuals used in the military which contain procedures can sometimes contain wording or pictures that may be outdated or erroneous. When an error or change does not require a full revision to the manual, the publishers can opt to release an Advance Change Notice (ACN) to rectify these issues in a more rapid manner to ensure the safe operation of the equipment.

Project Plans

2023-01-14 23:22:28 UTC

When working on a construction/restoration project, for example, a clear and concise plan must be set and sent to all parties involved in the project. Details within the plan can include items such as schedules developed for different teams to do their specified jobs at certain times and work around other teams to not hinder each other, material requirements and costs, building codes (or references for teams to find specific codes), and the goals of the project including the deadlines for sub-projects and the whole project.

2023-01-15 06:16:40 UTC

Software Requirements Documents

2023-01-15 23:14:43 UTC

Writing a requirements document is not a traditional essay, it is specifically to communicate what software needs to do to both the customer and programmers. Information needs to be delivered in a professional and easily understood manner. It requires its own type of formatting and conventions, but those are detached from the typical MLA format.

Brochures

2023-01-16 01:29:45 UTC

A brochure would be considered technical writing because it is used to advertise an appeal to people. They are usually used to talk about a company or organization.

When someone requests a survey done for their property, they surveyor must explain to the client what exactly will be located and have provide their rates in order for the client to know how much it will cost them in a formal manner. The client and surveyor will have to communicate in order to be clear on what they need from each other in order to avoid legal problems in the future.

Calendar

2023-01-16 15:21:54 UTC

I think a calendar can be a form of TCOM because it is a way to organize your day-to-day schedule. Although it does not have to be written in a formal manner, it does make your life easier by bringing an order of things and tasks.

Chef

2023-01-16 18:08:51 UTC

Being the head chef, or owner of a restaurant you have the responsibility to provide the public with a menu, or a detailed list of foods that you serve. This helps others understand exactly what they are ordering, in addition to giving the employees of the restaurant a better understanding of the technicalities of the food they are serving.

Prescription writing

2023-01-17 21:20:53 UTC

For technical writing I would consider a prescription from your doctor to be technical writing. The doctor has to have doses of the certain prescription, how many times per day they can use this prescription and refills as well. Also, when the prescription has been filled and verified by the pharmacist, there is another piece of technical writing, which is a prescription receipt, which will go over the medication you are taking. This lays all of the format out, and even how to pronounce the medication.

Repair Manuals

2023-01-17 21:46:23 UTC

Repair manuals tell you how to properly repair a product. It's necessary for the documents to have clear and precise information and instruction for the end user to follow. When making one you'd have to take into account most, if not all, of the problems that someone could encounter.

Business Plan

2023-01-17 23:21:01 UTC

A business plan is an in-depth plan used to start a new business or get funding for a business whether it be a startup or a pre-existing business. Business plans are also important for business partners as it serves as a form of contract based upon their plans/roles, government officials who need to approve that plan, and of course potential investors such as banks or private individuals who may fund the business. This is a very technical form of writing.

-Alexis Castro

Medical Notes

2023-01-18 04:39:19 UTC

As a future (hopefully) physician, I would like to focus on the medical side of things. Technical writing for a physician could be a SOAP note, which documents the visit between a patient and a physician. This includes what the patient has to say and their symptoms, what the physician finds on their examination, and what the physician determines as the assessment and the plan going forward.
-Lilien Grosz

Engineering Plans

2023-01-18 04:42:49 UTC

Engineering plans provide a client with a drawing of what structure they want to be built. These plans communicate what the client wants to the people building the structure. Plans also contain components saying how it satisfies certain ordinances from a city government and/or requirements from a client. These plans must be approved by local governments and have to pass certain regulations, so plans need to be extremely detailed, technical, and precise.

Cover Letters

2023-01-18 18:05:47 UTC

Cover letters are documents that is submitted along with a resume or job application. It is used to introduce yourself to the hiring manager and to provide additional information about your qualifications and skills that is not included in your resume. The cover letter is also an opportunity to express your interest in the position and to explain why you are the best candidate for the job. This document requires your best grammar and punctuation, with no spelling errors.

Greenhouse Installation Manuals

2023-01-20 00:03:40 UTC

I used to work for a company that manufactured greenhouses - everything from 3 x 5 hobby houses to multi-acre "gutter-connect" houses. We also manufactured metal buildings. I was hired to create AutoCAD drawings for instruction manuals. Eventually I was writing entire manuals. It was always a collaborative effort and the manuals went through several iterations. Not sure I'm supposed to talk about this but we were sued over the collapse of a greenhouse under snow. I don't remember exactly but the AutoCAD drawing showed a screw in a different position than the text described. Of course most of our manuals were examined closely. This also involved writing memos and emails between myself and management.

Repair manuals

A technical manual is a “how-to guide or manual” created for a single objective of making it simple for the end-user to understand the technicality of using a product or service. Technical manual contains instructions for installation, use, maintenance, and steps for effective deployment of equipment.
Describing the nuts and bolts of a product, the technical manual acts as a “how-to” guide for your customers to get them up to speed with the product they are using and help them solve any challenges they are facing while using it.

Such documents involve product-related knowledge and data, how to use it, and what to do in case you run into trouble. A few decades ago, technical manuals were in fact, way too technical for the common user to comprehend.

Rent Contract

2023-01-24 23:54:10 UTC

A contract between a landlord and tenant would be a great piece of technical writing. When you rent a house out to a tenant, you can't just tell them, "The rent is $1,000 every month. I'll come to your house to collect it every month and if you don't pay, I'm going to be really angry." The contract must clearly lay out the terms and conditions upon which the landlord and tenant will both sign and agree to. You have to specify how long the lease will be legally binding for, whether or not the tenant can have pets within the compound, who will be responsible for the utility bills, under what conditions will a landlord repair a broken item within the property, how much down payment the tenant have to put down, in the case of a rent payment default will there be any late fees, how to make the monthly rental payment and what form of payment is appropriate, under what conditions may the landlord terminate the contract, if the tenant decides to vacate the property prior to the least does he/she have to pay a fee, etc. The list can go on and on, but by specifying all terms and conditions, it usually minimizes conflict as it is already written out how things will be done in specific scenarios. To be frank, a contract is basically a business paper which would fall under technical writing.

Technical writing is used all across the field of theatre. On the business side of things alone, theatre owners/business administrators need to apply for grants, which requires writing grant applications to several people. Hiring managers send emails to directors and artists, and may be in charge of posting advertisements for shows they are hiring for. Most theatre companies own websites that provide items such as their contacts, mission statement, show selections, and images of previous work. There is even technical writing on the artistic side of things. When actors sign up for auditions, they generally need to fill out a form or email the director directly to secure details. Directors, when selecting their shows, may need to fill out a show proposal form detailing what the show is and why it is a good pick for the theatre and the theatre's season (the overall selection of shows in 12 months). All of these allow the people who work at a theatre explain why people should support them, and at the same time, it allows people to decide whether they should.

Gabriel Sanchez

2026-06-10 16:18:28 UTC

Architecture Review

2026-06-13 18:48:30 UTC

I work as a Sales Engineer working with Cloud Computing and one of the most frequent technical documents we have to write is an Architecture Review. An architecture review is a collaborative, technical evaluation of a system's design to ensure it aligns with a customer's business goals, security standards, and industry best practices. From a Sales Engineering perspective, it is a strategic exercise where we analyze a client's current or proposed infrastructure to identify potential bottlenecks, security risks, or cost inefficiencies. Ultimately, this review allows us to recommend the most optimal integration of our solutions, validating that the client’s system is scalable, reliable, and fully equipped to support their long-term growth.

We all have had jobs where we have to read and sign company agreements. We are normally faxed over the files or documents pertaining to agreements to policies. When we sign and acknowledge the polices we normally have to send it back to our supervisors etc. You wouldn't sign it with just your name with New Times Roman, you would use a signature. A professional signature that you have made with Adobe or other signature making tools. You would be sure to date it as well with the appropriate grammatical presentation of the year without paraphrasing the date as Ex; 07/07/26, you would use 07/07/2026.

Graduate Student Handbook

2026-08-21 18:34:52 UTC

I serve as the graduate coordinator for the history department at UNA. We recently developed a graduate handbook that outlines all degree requirements and offers advice on navigating graduate school.

As such, we designed the handbook with the primary audience in mind. We also updated all our forms and templates as part of the handbook development. I did not really think about it as technical writing as I was working through the development process, but the handbook clearly is a technical writing document!
