Over the years, I've accumulated a lot of advice and other writing that I consider it important for my Tutorial students to read and reflect upon. All that stuff is now gathered in this volume. Feel free to add your reflections on that volume here. -- SamR

Main Points

  • Reading closely means reading repeatedly, with careful attention to the claims that a work makes, the evidence used to back these claims up, and the implications of these claims.
  • Useful discussions have a central focus, with ideas and claims that build upon not only each other but also outside evidence.
  • In order to write well, you must understand not only what you are writing about but also who your target audience is.
