Um, what’s a thesis statement?
• It is a road map for the paper; in other
words, it tells the reader what to expect
from the rest of the paper.
• It directly answers the question asked of
you. A thesis is an interpretation of a
question or subject, not the subject itself.
• It is usually a single sentence somewhere
in your first paragraph that presents your
argument to the reader.

Editing
• Run spelling checker and grammar
checker.
• Have a friend read it with an eye out for
errors.
• Look carefully for the kinds of error you
have made on past assignments; refer to
professor’s comments on previous essays.

Academic Success Center
Publishing
• Turn it in on time!
• Consider submitting it for essay contests
or publication in appropriate journals. Ask
your professor about these opportunities.
• When you receive it with the professor’s
feedback, save it and refer to it—and the
comments—the next time you write an
essay . . . Always aim to learn from one
essay to improve the next one you write!
