In this session, we will practice four basic principles of writing in plain language.
You may be wondering, what is plain language? Good question. "Plain language" is way of communicating information simply and efficiently to your audiences. By using plain language, you relieve your reader (or listener) of the extra effort required to interpret jargon or process long sentences.
As a scholar, when would you use plain language? Another good question. Plain language principles are key to successful grant proposals, executive summaries, cover letters, policy memos, and other writing formats. Most of the principles will even make your academic writing stronger.
Level 1 RCS is a 4-week training workshop that covers audience analysis, message design, slide preparation, and writing in plain language. The course will meet Thursdays in Feb from 12:00PM to 12:55PM. All sessions will be held via Zoom.
In order to receive the PhD+ credential for this series, you must attend 3 out of 4 sessions.
