    Classification and Partition in Technical Writing

    Classification involves explaining which class something belongs to or dividing things into groups based on shared characteristics. There are two types of classification: true classification and division. Effective classification names the basis for division, ensures the basis controls division into distinct and separate groups, and formats information using headings, lists, notices, and graphics. Partition involves dividing a unit into its components or analyzing an item by breaking it into parts, steps, or aspects. Principles of effective partition require division to coordinate parts, be complete, be mutually exclusive without overlap.
