Title: Scientific Writing Short Course: "The Difficult Art of Writing Well"
Instructor: Donald Richards, Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Statistics, Penn State University
Abstract: In this short course, I will conduct a discussion of the difficult art of writing well. I will lead the discussion using my experiences as a student, teacher, researcher, colleague, and parent. I will show the participants of the short course that writing well often results in enormous benefits for students, colleagues, family members, and the writer, too. I will offer from my own career several examples of good writing that were highly beneficial for. I will also provide some practical advice, together with a few references to examples of superb writing from which we all can learn.
