Guidelines for an Effective Thesis
GUIDELINES FOR AN EFFECTIVE THESIS:-
As your knowledge grows and your thinking changes, rewrite your thesis following these guidelines:-
Write a declarative sentence, or several sentences if necessary, but not a question. If all you can write is a question, you are not ready to write a thesis. Answer your questions first.
Be sure that you have written a thesis statement rather than a purpose statement.
A thesis statement focuses on your topic and says something about it.
A purpose statement focuses on your paper and says something about it rather than your topic. Be sure your thesis is supported by the facts and other details that you have gathered.
Replace vague words with specific words that say precisely what you mean. Avoid generalizations.
Beware of writing a “So?” thesis. For example; Much urban and suburban travel by car is unnecessary. “So? What’s the point? Should something be done about this unnecessary travel? What?” Make a complete assertion about your topic.
After you have written your essay, cut the “My point is that…………… .” formula as you revise, keeping only your actual assertion in mind. The formula has helped you make a point, but readers won’t need it to get your point.
