[Englecturers] Fwd: Assistance in staffing a technical communications course for Fall

[englecturers at lists.ucr.edu]

>Lecturers:

       The following is a request for applicants to teach a special 
technical writing course in the college of engineering.  Aaron Potter 
taught the course last year, with great success.  Since he unable to teach 
it this year, the chair of Computer Science and Engineering is looking for 
a qualified replacement.
The course is demanding and somewhat specialized.  I recommend that anyone 
interested in applying first talk with Aaron about his experience.
