Technical Writing - Old Questions

10. Based on your experience, write instructions for new students, explaining how to register for classes or for a particular program.

Instructions provide an overview of the device, such as the purpose of the instructions or functional and starting state of the device. Instructions also specify the materials including sizes, part numbers and quantities needed to complete the procedure. In each step, usually numbered, the writers use active sentence and imperative mood with the use of second person pronoun 'you'. Instructions also include graphics when needed for clarity or understanding the text, or add a description under the graphic to orient the reader to the figure. A conclusion is also included at the end of instructions so as to describe the final state or optional procedures.
