This document provides advice on various aspects of academic writing such as essay structure, thesis statements, paragraph structure, and use of sources. It emphasizes that essays should have a clear argument supported by evidence. Good writing practices include starting early, outlining, and revising. When using sources, direct quotations should be limited and paraphrasing or summarizing is often better. The document also covers topics such as understanding essay topics, writing introductions and conclusions, comparing items in a comparative essay, and revising for clarity and organization.
How To Write Essays Part 3: The Writing Stage
The writing stage of an essay involves outlining, writing, and proofreading. It recommends outlining evidence and points first, then writing the discussion, conclusion, and thesis statement.

However, the recommended order to write sections is discussion, conclusion, thesis statement, then introduction. Finally, proofread the completed essay with fresh eyes for errors.

It discusses what a thesis statement is, how to write an effective one, and elements it should contain such as taking a position, being narrow in scope, and answering a specific question.

It should take a clear stand rather than just announcing the topic. A good thesis is narrow and specific rather than broad and vague. It asserts an argument rather than just stating a fact. The document emphasizes that a thesis is a work in progress and can be revised as the paper develops.

It states that academic texts are written by experts in a formal style using facts and specialized vocabulary specific to the discipline. Literary analysis essays examine and analyze literary works, going beyond summary to make an argument about a theme or motif. Research papers use outside sources to support an argument or thesis. Dissertations summarize original doctoral research. Well-structured academic writing uses clear structures like IMRD or a three-part introduction, body, conclusion structure.
