Make’em Write!
The No-Mess Way to Extract a Dissertation from a Grad Student’s Brain
A guide that helps instructors teach scientific writing to students.
This book won’t offer tips for adding luster to a research advisor’s C.V., nor is it a guide for torturing students. Instead, it offers reflections about how an advisor relationship can support students in learning scientific writing. It was written by two professors who, while at times embodying all of the caricatures depicted on the cover of this book, have won awards for the quality of their mentorship and been invited to take leadership of doctoral programs. With their combined experiences of supervising more than fifty graduate students, not to mention five years of venting around the coffee machine, and a dash of humor, Make’em Write! brings together the very best of their expertise.
