This four-week workshop is for undergraduate and graduate students who want to improve their writing style. We’ll consider the subjectivity of “good style,” including the origins of opinions about style, how they vary, and why this is important to understand as we get feedback on our writing. Each week, we’ll look at a different topic: 1.) clarity in your writing, 2.) issues at the vocabulary and sentence level, 3.) issues at the paragraph level, and 4.) issues at the holistic level. Each workshop includes big-picture thinking about the topic, practical tips to use in your own writing, and discussion of our own experiences as writers and readers.
