Topic: Clarity Part 1
Part 2 of 4 in the Technical Writing Series

Unclear writing is such a pain. As readers, our understanding of meaning, connections, and good ideas turns to confusion, frustration, and exhaustion when writing is unclear. As writers, we do want to leave our readers confused, so avoiding unclear writing means we need to write for readers, not ourselves. The Clarity principle is useful to critique our own sentences and paragraphs, and to revise them as best as possible. By examining our use of voice, interruptions, and flow of ideas from general to specific, we can identify causes of unclear writing and revise our ideas to illuminate them for our readers.

In this Webinar and the following Peer Review Session (Tuesday, 26.10.2021 from 11:30-13:00), we will introduce you to principles of Clarity and show you simple techniques to apply these principles across sentences and paragraphs. The webinar offers a small group excercise to practice and develop clear writing. Peer Review Sessions provide an opportunity to develop your understand and application of writing priniciples to your own research writing, in a supportive group environmenmt.

Each Webinar in the Technical Writing Series offers a 20-30 presentation on selected writing principles, 30 minutes of group activity, and 30 minutes of group discussion with a Writing Advisor. An optional 30 minute Question and Answer Period is provided from 12:30-13:00.

Topic: Concision
Part 4 of 4 in the Technical Writing Series

Word count matters. When writing to submit manuscripts to a peer-reviewed journal, we always face a word limit. So, being able to say the most about your research topic in as few words as possible can make or break your writing. By applying the principle of Concision, we can root out unnessary words, phrases, and information. Knowing what information to prioritize compared to what is 'fluff', filler, or redundant, we can begin pruning our language to remove the clutter and leave only the most vital words and ideas. This webinar is all about getting to the point in as few words as necessary to make your statement.

In this Webinar, we will introduce you to Concision, show you simple techniques to apply this principles across paragraphs. The webinar also offers a small group excercise to practice and develop your skills in Cohesive and Adhesive writing.

Each Webinar in the Technical Writing Series offers a 20-30 presentation on selected writing principles, 30 minutes of group activity, and 30 minutes of group discussion with a Writing Advisor. An optional 30 minute Question and Answer Period is provided from 12:30-13:00.
