Reminds me of a "Learning Center Workshop" I had to go to when I first startted college 21 years ago – a requirement of the "orientation" class was to attend two LC "workshops"
I picked "sentence structuring" – and got tagged as The Guy™ who didn't "need to be there" …Simple, complex, compound, complex-compound sentences – what are they, how do you use them
My "sample" paragraph I wrote in the 40-minute session mixed all three, and in a way that the facilitator couldn't "readably improve"
Short sentences are great
Long sentences can make sense if they're appropriate to the topic at hand
And longer sentences, when combined with proper punctuation, subclausing, etc, are also highly readable – so long as you know when (and why (and where)) to use all of the above
