Kurt Vonnegut -- Writing with Style

One of the many benefits of meeting and exchanging syllabii with interesting colleagues such as Prof. Mike Smith in places such as CMU. One gets exposed on how to communicate key ideas to students in simple terms.


Here are Vonnegut's seven deceptively simple principles:
- Find a subject you care about.
- Do not ramble, though.
- Keep it simple.
- Have the guts to cut.
- Sound like yourself.
- Say what you mean to say.
- Pity the readers.
