What's a thesis statement?

Answer

A thesis is the main academic argument of your paper.  It is typically in the form of a statement at the end of your introductory paragraph but in some cases may be phrased as a question.

Use the guides below to help develop a strong thesis statement.  You can also use the Writing Center on the 4th floor of the library to get one-on-one assistance.
