You will be expected to meet professional standards of maturity, clarity, grammar, spelling, and organization in your written work for this class, and, to that end, I offer the following remarks. It is also important to remember that clarity of ideas, clarity of language, and clarity of syntax are interrelated and mutually reinforcing.
Good writing makes for good thinking, and vice versa.
The goal is to help you develop the habit of archiving and labelling your work. Familiarity with standard formats is essential for understanding others' work and for preparing submissions to journals, professional conferences, and the like. It is imperative that you proofread your work thoroughly and be precise in editing it . It is always helpful to have someone else read your writing carefully, to eliminate errors and to increase clarity. If you have any questions about these standards, I would be pleased to discuss them with you at any time.
