A Workshop on Improving Style
Using rhetorical questions correctly
· These can be quite useful to encourage readers to think about
an issue in a new way.
· DO use rhetorical questions in the middle of paragraphs,
especially after using an example or anecdote. It helps readers
place themselves in the situation and consider what they might
do as well.
· DO NOT use rhetorical questions at the beginning of
paragraphs (especially the beginning of the essay) or the ends of
paragraphs. Also avoid using more than one for every page of
writing you have.
Avoid Wordiness
· Sure, you’ve got a page count to reach. But inserting filler
words isn’t the way to do it. It may fill up the page, but your
paper will be really painful to read.
· DON’T write: He carries a briefcase made out of leather that
is weather-beaten.
· DO write: He carries a weather-beaten leather briefcase.
· DON’T write: There is a place called the Writing Center
where students can go in order to improve their academic
writing skills.
· DO write: Students can improve their academic writing skills
at the Writing Center.
Avoid using a conversational tone
· This can be anything from using slang to just using
conversational words like “well” and “so” and “now” at the
beginning of sentences. Just as you wouldn’t include things like
“um” or “uh” also avoid using other words that people use as
fillers in actual conversation.
· DO use a voice, tone, and style that is more formal than you
normally would in speaking, even to someone official like a
boss. This is called Standard Written English.
· DO NOT feel like using SWE means that you have to use the
thesaurus to make yourself sound official. It’s fine to use
simple and clear language to get your point across.
Avoid defining common terms
· Many times, especially at the beginning of the essay, there is
the temptation to define terms like “music” or “love” or
“disease.” But this is really unnecessary and simply looks like
filler.
· DO discuss how experts view these terms, possibly contrasting
their ideas with others if you want to show a nuance between
them.
· DO NOT cite a dictionary definition simply for the sake of
informing readers of the word’s meaning as if they are stupid.
Especially do not cite Webster’s dictionary or similar.
Change up your sentence structure
· If you notice that you are beginning sentences with the same
word (“the” for example) you may not have very much variation
in your sentence structure. While not inherently wrong, setting
up your sentences the same way makes your writing sound
boring and simplistic.
· DO change things like “the woman walked up the street and
noticed the trees were in bloom” to something like “As the
woman walked up the street, she looked around and saw that the
trees were blooming” or “Walking up the street, the woman
noticed that the trees were in bloom.”
· DO NOT make the sentences so convoluted that they don’t
follow basic grammar rules. You don’t want to take it too far.
Mix up punctuation
· Just as you want to vary sentence structure, it’s a good idea to
use varying punctuation as a way to show that you are
sophisticated in your writing.
· DO use semicolons to combine shorter sentences together
and/or colons to introduce quotes or other ideas.
· DO NOT use exclamation points in academic writing. Like,
ever.
Vary your word choices
· Do you notice yourself using “states” a lot to introduce a
quote? Try using “claims,” “asserts,” or “notes” instead.
· Be more specific with certain words. For instance, find
anywhere that you use words like “stuff” or “things” and
eliminate those completely. Replace them with specific words.
· As an exercise, try to eliminate as many “to be” verbs as
possible in your writing. (Any variation of am, are, is). You can
almost always use a different word in its place and enhance the
whole meaning of the sentence.
· DO NOT use the thesaurus to try to vary your word choices. I
know I mentioned this before, but it bears repeating: DO NOT
use words that you would not normally already use. It will give
you a very odd-sounding voice.
Mini Grammar Lesson!
Semicolons
A semicolon only has TWO basic functions. When you learn
them, you’ll be able to use them with ease.
1. Use a semicolon to separate two independent but closely
related clauses.
a. My car would not start this morning; the battery was dead.
b. My sister has three cats; all of her clothes are covered in fur.
c. You should not overuse semicolons; therefore, only use a
couple in your essay.
2. Use a semicolon to separate complex items in a series.
a. I have visited Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York.
b. I have visited Columbus, Ohio; Erie, Pennsylvania; and
Buffalo, New York.
c. Remember to eat, drink, and be merry.
d. Remember to change the oil in your car every 3000 miles so
that your car keeps running; send handwritten thank-you notes
for every gift you receive from friends and relatives; and over
the whole course of your life travel as often as you can to as
many new places as you can.
Colons
Colons, on the other hand, have several functions:
· Separate hours from minutes (10:30 AM)
· End a salutation in formal letters (Dear Dr. Jones: )
· Separate a title from a subtitle (Star Trek: The Next
Generation)
· Begin a direct quotation (Accordingly, Alex Smith had a few
things to say about that: …)
· To introduce a point (Do: …)
· Separate various types of information in a bibliography (New
York: Random House, 2011)
· To amplify or explain a preceding concept
· She made a sad discovery: the car battery was completely
dead.
· There are two things you must do to become a better writer:
write and write some more.
· Make a list
· He visited three states: Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York.
· She decided to bring only three things with her: a wallet, a
passport, and a sense of optimism.
· DO NOT use a colon if there is no independent clause
· NO: For my birthday I want: a car, a laptop, and a puppy.
· YES: For my birthday I want a car, a laptop, and a puppy.
· NO: I have several hobbies such as: reading, playing video
games, and drawing.
· YES: I have several hobbies: reading, playing video games,
and drawing.
· YES: I have several hobbies, such as reading, playing video
games, and drawing.
· NO: When you go to the store, remember to buy: bread, milk,
and coffee.
· YES: When you go to the store, remember to buy the
following items: bread, milk, and coffee.
Sales representative: Hi Matt, how are you? How have you
been?
Manager: I'm great, I’ve been good Emad, How are you doing?
how are you doing?
Sales representative: I'm good I’m doing well, thanks. It’s been
a couple of days since the last day we spoke, how is the
business going?
Manager: It’s going alright all through I cannot complain.
Sales representative: That’s great news. Earlier when we spoke
you mentioned that you wanted to increase sales in the skincare
department. Do you still have the same concerns?
Manager: Yes I do, have always looked forward to increasing
my sales and attracting more customers to my mall.
Sales representative: Well, I will tell you a few solutions I have
that will help increase your sales and the number of customers
visiting the Midland Mall. My solution is that you put a kiosk
for selling the Zoe lotions. The most selling Zoe lotion variant
is cocoa butter, glycerine, and milk for dry skin. All Zoe lotions
contain olive oil and lanolin. Zoe cocoa butter lotion is used to
remove stretch marks and also replenish the skin whereas Zoe
glycerine is used to hydrate the skin. Zoe milk for dry skin
restores back a very normal skin. The benefits of all these
lotions are that they give a smooth and healthy looking skin. All
lotions are currently available in 400ml, 200ml, and 100ml sizes
so the buyer have the options to buy what they can afford. I
believe by setting up a kiosk in your mall can be a great benefit
to both of us. Not only does it makes the Zoe lotion more
available but also minimizes the shipping cost, therefore,
reducing the cost of the lotion. The three lotions offer best skin
repair options as they are enriched with olive oil. So what do
you think of my sales approach, do you think that opening a
kiosk will be beneficial to the mall?
Manager: Well, I feel that opening a kiosk will be beneficial to
the both of us, however, maybe the price will be too high and
the customers may not be able to purchase the lotions.
Sales representative: Oh well, though you might say that, Zoe
lotion is the best-selling lotion right now and is mostly
targeting women shopping in the mall. It has been in the market
since 1998; therefore, it is very affordable to the customers. So
would you like to implement the idea in your mall?
Manager: The idea is nice and will work how about we
implement it next week?
Sales representative: That is great, I'm looking forward to
working with you.
Manager: Thanks for coming, enjoy the rest of your day.
Sales representative: Thank you. I appreciate.

MARKETING AND HOSPITALITY/CMU POLICIES
RELEVANT TO THIS CLASS
ACADEMIC INTEGRITY
The University Bulletin states:
“In
the academic community the high value placed on truth implies
a corresponding intolerance of scholastic dishonesty. Written or
other work which a student submits must be the product of
his/her own efforts. Plagiarism, cheating and other forms of
academic dishonesty, including dishonesty involving computer
tec
hnology, are prohibited” (retrieved from
https://bulletins.cmich.edu/2012/ug/gen-
acad/default.asp#Academic%20Dishonesty
, see section titled
Academic Dishonesty
).
Please review this policy at
the link above
.
The above academic dishonesty policy
can be applied to this class
in the following manner:
I
n all cases of cheating, regardless of the circumstances, the
student will receive an F for the course.
In addition, the student's name will be turned in to the Dean of
the Office of Student Life for possible disciplinary action.
Cheating involves not only copying or using someone else's
work, but also allowing others to use this work. There
fore, allowing others to use as
their own work your old cases or term papers, or to copy your
current examination as their own, will be considered cheating.
Finally, the department considers plagiarism to be cheat
ing.
Therefore, failure to use proper footnotes and to cite all sources
is plagiarism.
ADA
:
CMU provides students with disabilities reasonable
accommodation to participate in educational programs,
activities, or services. Students with disabilities requiring
accommodations to participate in class activities or meet course
requirements should contact the instructor as early as possible.
S
tudents need to be formally registered with CMU's Student
Disability Services in Park 120, and provide me with a letter
verifying such within a reasonable time in order that
accommodation can be provided.

A Workshop on Improving StyleUsing rhetorical questions correc.docx

  • 1. A Workshop on Improving Style Using rhetorical questions correctly · These can be quite useful to encourage readers to think about an issue in a new way. · DO use rhetorical questions in the middle of paragraphs, especially after using an example or anecdote. It helps readers place themselves in the situation and consider what they might do as well. · DO NOT use rhetorical questions at the beginning of paragraphs (especially the beginning of the essay) or the ends of paragraphs. Also avoid using more than one for every page of writing you have. Avoid Wordiness · Sure, you’ve got a page count to reach. But inserting filler words isn’t the way to do it. It may fill up the page, but your paper will be really painful to read. · DON’T write: He carries a briefcase made out of leather that is weather-beaten. · DO write: He carries a weather-beaten leather briefcase. · DON’T write: There is a place called the Writing Center where students can go in order to improve their academic writing skills. · DO write: Students can improve their academic writing skills at the Writing Center. Avoid using a conversational tone · This can be anything from using slang to just using conversational words like “well” and “so” and “now” at the beginning of sentences. Just as you wouldn’t include things like “um” or “uh” also avoid using other words that people use as fillers in actual conversation. · DO use a voice, tone, and style that is more formal than you
  • 2. normally would in speaking, even to someone official like a boss. This is called Standard Written English. · DO NOT feel like using SWE means that you have to use the thesaurus to make yourself sound official. It’s fine to use simple and clear language to get your point across. Avoid defining common terms · Many times, especially at the beginning of the essay, there is the temptation to define terms like “music” or “love” or “disease.” But this is really unnecessary and simply looks like filler. · DO discuss how experts view these terms, possibly contrasting their ideas with others if you want to show a nuance between them. · DO NOT cite a dictionary definition simply for the sake of informing readers of the word’s meaning as if they are stupid. Especially do not cite Webster’s dictionary or similar. Change up your sentence structure · If you notice that you are beginning sentences with the same word (“the” for example) you may not have very much variation in your sentence structure. While not inherently wrong, setting up your sentences the same way makes your writing sound boring and simplistic. · DO change things like “the woman walked up the street and noticed the trees were in bloom” to something like “As the woman walked up the street, she looked around and saw that the trees were blooming” or “Walking up the street, the woman noticed that the trees were in bloom.” · DO NOT make the sentences so convoluted that they don’t follow basic grammar rules. You don’t want to take it too far. Mix up punctuation · Just as you want to vary sentence structure, it’s a good idea to
  • 3. use varying punctuation as a way to show that you are sophisticated in your writing. · DO use semicolons to combine shorter sentences together and/or colons to introduce quotes or other ideas. · DO NOT use exclamation points in academic writing. Like, ever. Vary your word choices · Do you notice yourself using “states” a lot to introduce a quote? Try using “claims,” “asserts,” or “notes” instead. · Be more specific with certain words. For instance, find anywhere that you use words like “stuff” or “things” and eliminate those completely. Replace them with specific words. · As an exercise, try to eliminate as many “to be” verbs as possible in your writing. (Any variation of am, are, is). You can almost always use a different word in its place and enhance the whole meaning of the sentence. · DO NOT use the thesaurus to try to vary your word choices. I know I mentioned this before, but it bears repeating: DO NOT use words that you would not normally already use. It will give you a very odd-sounding voice. Mini Grammar Lesson! Semicolons A semicolon only has TWO basic functions. When you learn them, you’ll be able to use them with ease. 1. Use a semicolon to separate two independent but closely
  • 4. related clauses. a. My car would not start this morning; the battery was dead. b. My sister has three cats; all of her clothes are covered in fur. c. You should not overuse semicolons; therefore, only use a couple in your essay. 2. Use a semicolon to separate complex items in a series. a. I have visited Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York. b. I have visited Columbus, Ohio; Erie, Pennsylvania; and Buffalo, New York. c. Remember to eat, drink, and be merry. d. Remember to change the oil in your car every 3000 miles so that your car keeps running; send handwritten thank-you notes for every gift you receive from friends and relatives; and over the whole course of your life travel as often as you can to as many new places as you can. Colons Colons, on the other hand, have several functions: · Separate hours from minutes (10:30 AM) · End a salutation in formal letters (Dear Dr. Jones: ) · Separate a title from a subtitle (Star Trek: The Next Generation) · Begin a direct quotation (Accordingly, Alex Smith had a few things to say about that: …) · To introduce a point (Do: …) · Separate various types of information in a bibliography (New York: Random House, 2011) · To amplify or explain a preceding concept · She made a sad discovery: the car battery was completely
  • 5. dead. · There are two things you must do to become a better writer: write and write some more. · Make a list · He visited three states: Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York. · She decided to bring only three things with her: a wallet, a passport, and a sense of optimism. · DO NOT use a colon if there is no independent clause · NO: For my birthday I want: a car, a laptop, and a puppy. · YES: For my birthday I want a car, a laptop, and a puppy. · NO: I have several hobbies such as: reading, playing video games, and drawing. · YES: I have several hobbies: reading, playing video games, and drawing. · YES: I have several hobbies, such as reading, playing video games, and drawing. · NO: When you go to the store, remember to buy: bread, milk, and coffee. · YES: When you go to the store, remember to buy the following items: bread, milk, and coffee. Sales representative: Hi Matt, how are you? How have you been? Manager: I'm great, I’ve been good Emad, How are you doing? how are you doing? Sales representative: I'm good I’m doing well, thanks. It’s been a couple of days since the last day we spoke, how is the business going? Manager: It’s going alright all through I cannot complain. Sales representative: That’s great news. Earlier when we spoke you mentioned that you wanted to increase sales in the skincare department. Do you still have the same concerns?
  • 6. Manager: Yes I do, have always looked forward to increasing my sales and attracting more customers to my mall. Sales representative: Well, I will tell you a few solutions I have that will help increase your sales and the number of customers visiting the Midland Mall. My solution is that you put a kiosk for selling the Zoe lotions. The most selling Zoe lotion variant is cocoa butter, glycerine, and milk for dry skin. All Zoe lotions contain olive oil and lanolin. Zoe cocoa butter lotion is used to remove stretch marks and also replenish the skin whereas Zoe glycerine is used to hydrate the skin. Zoe milk for dry skin restores back a very normal skin. The benefits of all these lotions are that they give a smooth and healthy looking skin. All lotions are currently available in 400ml, 200ml, and 100ml sizes so the buyer have the options to buy what they can afford. I believe by setting up a kiosk in your mall can be a great benefit to both of us. Not only does it makes the Zoe lotion more available but also minimizes the shipping cost, therefore, reducing the cost of the lotion. The three lotions offer best skin repair options as they are enriched with olive oil. So what do you think of my sales approach, do you think that opening a kiosk will be beneficial to the mall? Manager: Well, I feel that opening a kiosk will be beneficial to the both of us, however, maybe the price will be too high and the customers may not be able to purchase the lotions. Sales representative: Oh well, though you might say that, Zoe lotion is the best-selling lotion right now and is mostly targeting women shopping in the mall. It has been in the market since 1998; therefore, it is very affordable to the customers. So would you like to implement the idea in your mall? Manager: The idea is nice and will work how about we implement it next week? Sales representative: That is great, I'm looking forward to working with you. Manager: Thanks for coming, enjoy the rest of your day. Sales representative: Thank you. I appreciate.

Plagiarism, cheating and other forms of academic dishonesty, including dishonesty involving computer tec hnology, are prohibited” (retrieved from https://bulletins.cmich.edu/2012/ug/gen- acad/default.asp#Academic%20Dishonesty , see section titled Academic Dishonesty ). Please review this policy at the link above .

In addition, the student's name will be turned in to the Dean of the Office of Student Life for possible disciplinary action. Cheating involves not only copying or using someone else's work, but also allowing others to use this work. There fore, allowing others to use as their own work your old cases or term papers, or to copy your current examination as their own, will be considered cheating.
