Abstract
This presentation was prepared for in-classroom use only. It is designed primarily for graduate students, particularly those who have limited experience writing a comprehensive paper, research report, thesis, or dissertation. The presentation begins by emphasizing the important contribution of reading to effective writing. The discussion then shifts to the process of writing. This includes planning, starting, finding a comfortable environment, storytelling, and avoiding common problems. The presentation also covers the effective use of quantification (arithmetic) in research and analysis. The presentation closes with tips for academic writers, the importance of creativity, an anecdote about a personal failure in problem-solving, and striving to achieve the "Aha" factor. The document is for educational purposes only. It should not be used commercially.
