Another nationwide prob
lem, Kellner said, is the quality
of technical writing textbooks.
Many of the textbooks are writ
ten by English teachers who use
other textbooks rather than
their experience as sources for
information. Also, he said, some
of the material covered in tex
tbooks include topics once used
in secretarial handbooks.
“We have reached a deplor
able state in higher education
when a textbook for college stu
dents devotes entire pages on
how to fold a letter and stick it in
an envelope,” Kellner said.
“They even have pictures.”
Although his study is very li
mited, it underscores the need
for a more comprehensive
nationwide survey of technical
writing curriculum, Kellner
said. The typical technical writ
ing instructor wastes at least two
or three classes on library tours
and explanations, six classes for
oral presentations and cancels
three classes for conference
time, he said.
