This exercise will require you to rewrite some text to attempt to improve its clarity. Review the Understanding Style and Correctness lessons in Williams & Bizup.

Pick a textbook from another course: preferably a CMPT course, either one you're taking now or one you have taken in the past. Find a passage of text (sentences and paragraphs; not code, a table, figures, etc) in the book that's maybe 1/4 or 1/3 of a normal textbook page in length.

Rewrite that passage, trying to make it more clear (without significantly changing its meaning/content). The goal of writing in a textbook is (presumably) to explain the concepts to students like yourself. If your rewriting is better at that, then you have improved it.

Include both the original text and your rewriting in your submission.
