Chapter 16

In chapter 16 it talks about writing concisely, the steps to write concisely is to first remove unnecessary modifiers, then remove unnecessary introductory phrases, and lastly eliminate stock phrases. It also talks about using an active and passive voice to accomplish your purpose. And to adopt a consistent point of view like write in first person using I and we, or write in second person using you, or third person writing in she, he , it, they, etc.Pay attention to word choice is a huge thing when writing any paper. You can choose good word choice by knowing if you are writing informal or formal, specialized writing, and variety.Use transitions effectively because your reader can get  confused if your transitions are not well formed, use transition words like first, second, third, however, etc.
Introduce other authors effectively like saying "the author wrote". and avoid sexist language like when talking about a doctor don't only call him a he.Chapter 16 says to consult a good handbook like the one assigned to this class. The last point made is to read widely!
