tcarlson78 - 2012-02-08 11:49 AM Is there an easy way to teach effective writing to college kids?   Reading these papers are with difficulty.   Oh wait just remembered I am in TAN.  Nevermind
As a writer the easiest way to teach people to write is to make it formulaic. Boring, but effective.[/QUOTE

My bad, Im teaching how to write bullet statements with impact.  If I recall correctly you may have done this type of drill in a previous work arena.

I taught effective writing to college kids for seven years. Three of those years I taught and supervised other instructors regarding how to effectively teach writing to college kids.

I received a lot of awards, including monetary, for this.

So how detailed an answer do you want? By "easy way," how much time do you have?

Yup. And next week, I'll get to talk to the hiring manager about the job with my current company that I have my eye on.

So how detailed an answer do you want? By "easy way," how much time do you have?

  How much time to spend with you... that is not a fair question, as all sense of time would stop, a moment would last me a lifetime...

My writing assignments are not traditional Lib Art/ Science/Eng papers.  Most of my writing is distilled into brief bursts of data that highlight accomplishment and impact.  I suppose the closest analogy would be highlights on a resume

One of THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS that I learned in four years of engineering school:

-Give people the information that THEY want in the format that THEY prefer.

My precious Troy oz.

The short answer is: find lessons and exercises regarding conciseness, and writing headlines, Internet blurbs, and captions in AP style.
