296c // Prof. Dan Friedman
Third Year Seminar
This term the more senior PhD students will join with the third year students for a joint seminar. The class meets most Mondays and occasional Wednesdays, usually at 3:15pm in the conference room, 499 E2.
Participants are expected to present once, for about 40 minutes, and to write up their results. Prof. David Kaun will offer 2-4 workshops on improving writing skills.
The current schedule appears below.
Enrolled students are expected to turn in a paper---one copy to the instructor and a second copy to the advisor---by noon Wednesday, June 4.
Supplementary materials on writing can be found at the following websites:
Hamermesh, D.S., 1992, The Young Economist's Guide to Professional Etiquette.
John H. Cochrane, 2005, Writing Tips for Ph. D. Students
UCSC library's style guidelines.
I found an earlier edition of the following book quite helpful. You can buy it, or borrow it from the library or from me:
- Economical Writing, Second Edition, 2000, by Deirdre McCloskey
