Academic Writing
I am planning to teach a undergraduate course based on Professor Liu Junqiang’s book titled The Craft of Writing (《写作是门手艺》). Github Repo.
- Here is the Jupyter Notebook and Slides.
- I find the Essay Writing Guide written by Jordan B Peterson is very useful. I convert it into slides and add some annotations. The Power of Writing: Ten Steps of Essay Writing.
- In addition, I highly recommend Howard Becker’s book Writing for Social Scientists (Notebook & Slides).
- Similarly, I like Anthony Miles’s introduction to A Taxonomy of Research Gaps.
- Yet my favorite book on academic writing is Paul J. Silva’s How to Write a Lot: A Practical Guide to Productive Academic Writing (Slides).
Causal Inference
I finished reading the book 「原因と結果」の経済学―――データから真実を見抜く思考法 and I think it is very useful as the textbook for the class of Causal Inference 101. Check the Slides and Notebook.
- I am co-organizing the Causal Inference 101 course with Dr. Zhihao Ma, check the github repo of Causal Inference 101.
- I highly recommend the book titled Causal Inference for The Brave and True.
