Hello everyone,
This month we have been focusing on education, improving our writing, and ways to develop better techniques for our oral presentations. I have an article that will compliment are learning’s we have accomplished this month so far.
Having a disability myself, I find I need to make sure I am concise and meaningful when I am writing. I want to get my point across on the first attempt with as little duplication of efforts as possible. Especially when I want the reader to recognize I am an authority on the subject, stay focused, get my point across and buy off on my idea, or educate the reader; depending on goal of article or message I am writing. I personally think this article will help me towards these goals. I hope it helps you as well.
Ubiquity Volume 8, Issue 33 WRITING TO MAKE SENSE OF WHAT YOU KNOW
Clear, concise, persuasive writing is a fundamental skill needed by every educated person whatever his or her profession. Unfortunately, very few people ever truly master it. Not because it is so difficult, but because schools seldom teach its true essence. IT people, perhaps more than most, know the importance of understanding the fundamentals of a discipline (e.g. mathematics) before it can effectively be put to use. Although a professional writer, Philip Yaffe has degrees in mathematics and physics from the University of California. His articles on persuasive communication (writing & speaking) reflect this background by going straight to the essence of the matter. His article in this issue of Ubiquity, How to Improve Your Writing by Standing on Your Head, should be read together with his previous article The Mathematics of Persuasive Communication
Read How to Improve Your Writing by Standing on Your Head.
Have you ever written in this style and technique? Did it work for you? Where did this type of writing assist you? Are you disabled or have other challenges where this style of writing helped you?
Look forward to hearing your valuable thoughts.
