Dear All,

Coming up this week, the last of our writing workshops for the year:

  Writing for Research Publication -  Introductions, Data Commentaries, and
Abstracts 
    
        Session B - Data Commentaries and Abstracts Workshop 
        Janet Kayfetz (Computer Science, Bren) 

Wed, May 14th, 3-5PM, Elings Hall1601

*RSVP* at: https://csep.cnsi.ucsb.edu/forms/PDS/Registration.php 
**Light refreshments Provided**



In this two-part writing workshop we consider the central role of rhetorical
positioning in the development of a clear, interesting, and rigorous science
research paper. We will look at a paper's general structure with specific
focus given to the significance of narrowing the problem space and the
construction of logical arguments, as well as other important concepts
including reader-oriented writing, genre, precision, tone, and strategies
useful for redrafting and editing. We will also discuss how writers can
develop content and fluency through practice with timed, unedited
journal-type writing.
Our discussion will focus on three important sub-sections of a scientific
paper -- Introductions, Data Commentaries, and Abstracts.
