From the supplier: The difference between theory and practice is seen clearly in the design of technical writing courses. Horizontal courses introduce a wide range of general technical writing forms while vertical courses, through a hands-on approach, assure expertise in one specific documentation type. The use of vertical course design is emphasized.
