Description of the Workshop:

While many writers focus on making their documents grammatically correct, which is important, they neglect nuanced issues of style that affect the quality of their writing. Often, these issues hinder the clarity and readability of ideas presented. This session presents strategies for writing more concisely, giving specific examples and sharing common words/phrases that produce wordiness. Participants also will learn ways to eliminate redundancy and have the opportunity to apply the strategies learned via a game titled "You are the Editor."

Intended Audience:

Undergraduate students, Graduate students, Professional students, Faculty and Industry Professionals

Intended Experience Level:

Intermediate
