摘要：Our department uses writing in a number of ways. For example, several classes use a “journal” (better known as a lab notebook) to chronicle laboratory experiences. In the Software Engineering and Operating Systems courses, students create manuals for their software projects. These manuals have different audiences: users and programmers. So, students learn to write from different perspectives. With the advent of the World Wide Web, students use multi-media to express themselves. In the Computer Architecture class, students write summaries of technical articles, with their classmates as the intended readers. Lastly, students thoroughly investigate research topics using longer papers: 10 to 12pages.
