This talk will also cover useful time-saving tips for robust document formatting, preparing ahead for future revisions and collaborations. Learning Objectives: - Develop your effectiveness and efficiency in technical discussions and negotiations. - Improve your written communication over a range of technical writing activities to establish credibility and have your voice clearly heard. - Describe useful time-saving methods for robust document formatting to maintain high-quality through future revisions and collaboration.
