UCSD CSE Effective Writing Group: Summer 2019

Writing clearly and effectively is difficult for most people, computer scientists are no exception. The purpose of this group is to collectively critique our own academic writing. Our cause is to improve communication in science for the benefit of all!

Format

Each week all members of the group will read a chapter of Style Lessons in Clarity and Grace. One member of the group will submit a recent piece of their own writing for critique. All other members then apply the style rules from the weeks readings and suggest improvements. The goal is to improve our own writing style so submitted works should be written without the aid or correction of advisers.

Membership

All writing critiques are performed on unpublished academic literature. As such, posting direct online links to the documents could result in poaching. Group documents are hosted on Google Drive. Permission to the drive can be requested through this link.
