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.
