  7. How it relates to Technical Writing • Ethics as concerned with technical writing is a set of rules and standards for using communication skills and resources with the intention of doing good.

  8. The standard ethics for technical writing includes: • Be objective • Be accurate • Be truthful • Don’t deceive • Be legal • Be honorable • Be factual • And, Give credit where credit is due

  9. Technical writers practice these codes in order to save themselves from any legal ramifications they would receive. • As Students we should also use this list to govern how we conduct our studies, with the fear of getting either a failure in the specific work we cheated on, or expulsion from the University.
