Abstract

The author proposes the reduction of words used in research papers, reports and assignments as a cost-saving measure. He mentions that the University of Shangri-La's monitoring of the monitoring of internal moderation involves international moderation of students' coursework and the performance of the monitoring process. He encourages universities to also reduce words used in regulations and specifications for their students. He suggests that students should not use fancy-sounding unnecessary terms just to reach word limits.
