Resources For Academic Writing and Presentation

This is just a quick post before I go to bed.

Last week, I run into a course website which is "Network Design and Game Theory." In side, there are many interesting stuffs and, at the bottom, there are resources on how to write a good academic paper and how to give a good academic talk.

They are very useful for me at this moment since I am going to have a presentation on May 7. In fact, I have just finished my presentation slide using some guidelines below.

Tips for good technical writing
- The elements of style by William Strunk Jr. and E. B. White (follow the "External links" at the bottom of this page for online copies of this book).
- Writing a technical paper, by Professor Michael Ernst.
- Tips for writing technical papers, by Professor Jennifer Widom.
- Writing suggestions, by Professor Barton Miller.
- How to write a dissertation, by Professor Douglas Comer (most of the content on this page applies to all forms of technical writing).

Tips for effective presentation
- Giving a technical talk, by Professor Michael Ernst.
- Tips for a good conference talk, by Professor Jennifer Widom.
- Oral presentation advice, by Professor Mark Hill.

  4. Many institutions limit access to their online information. Making this information available will be an asset to all.
