This web site has been created by Birch Robison, Associate Professor of Reading at Hawai'i Community College, for students enrolled in English 060 (Technical Report Writing) for the 1998 Fall semester.  It is an update of a similar activity originating from the HERN '95 Institute,  held at Kapiolani Community College in July, 1995.  Questions about these Internet activities can be directed to birch@hawaii.edu.  The E60 Bulletin Board is updated two or three times a week during the semester of instruction.
