Abstract Details

2006, Master of Technical and Scientific Communication, Miami University, Technical and Scientific Communication.
This report describes my technical writing/editing internship at WIL Research Laboratories, Inc. (WIL) in Ashland, Ohio. To complete the Master of Technical and Scientific Communication (MTSC) degree from Miami University of Ohio, I interned as a Study Analyst and Report Writer for 14 weeks for WIL, a contract research organization that conducts toxicology research for pharmaceutical and agricultural chemical corporations. Topics covered in this report include a general overview of WIL; a description of the training portion of the internship, including accounts of several projects that I completed in preparation to become a report writer; a detailed account of the major report writing project completed during the internship; and a reflection on the internship, including a description of how I used the seven steps of problem solving (as defined by Kristin R. Woolever in Writing for the Technical Professions) to outline the objectives and to develop the argument of my first report.
