This year’s course is called “The Craft of Editing”. Although a few “natural” writers can produce well organized and clearly presented first drafts, for most of us, writing is often laborious and frustrating. We will discuss and practice implementing methods to identify weaknesses and improve technical writing. Class topics are shown in the schedule below.
2/8 (Mon) 15:30-17:10 | Introductory lecture and discussion: Defining good writing (AKASHI Hiroshi) The class will discuss general features of well-written science and methods to identify and improve problematic writing. Sentence diagramming and other approaches will be considered |
2/22 (Mon) 15:30-17:10 | Common issues in less effective writing (AKASHI Hiroshi) We will discuss examples of writing that could be improved and determine common issues that impair clarity and communication. This class will focus on connecting ideas/sentences into larger structures. |
3/1 (Mon) 15:30-17:10 | Workshop: critiques and rewrites (AKASHI Hiroshi) Class members will be asked to rewrite short sections of text and will explain how they sought to improve the presentation. General methods to enhance writing will be discussed. |
3/8 (Mon) 15:30-17:10 | Scientific scholarship (AKASHI Hiroshi / guest lecturer TBA) Sound scholarship is a central element in good scientific writing. We will discuss methods for maintaining and organizing papers and how to reference/paraphrase to avoid plagiarism. |
