Words of Wisdom

In making a speech one must study three points: first, the means of producing persuasion; second, the language; third the proper arrangement of the various parts of the speech.

— Aristotle



Instructors often choose to book this workshop after students have handed in a first paper/draft for the class and prior to revisions/second papers.

This presentation explains some revision tips that will help students write clearly and concisely. It emphasizes minimizing wordiness and writing clear, yet complex sentences. During the workshop, students will be encouraged to check their understanding of topics discussed. They will also receive handouts for further reference.
