UNDERSTANDING ACADEMIC CONVENTIONS (5 Part Workshop Series)

This workshop series explores academic conventions used in different sections of a research paper, dissertation or thesis. It would be suitable for students from any discipline who are in / will be in the process of reporting on their empirical research through the medium of English.

Part 4. Crafting an Effective Thesis Statement

This workshop aims to explore methods that will be useful to craft an effective thesis statement. The workshop begins by highlighting the similarities and differences between topic sentences and thesis statements. Time is then spent exemplifying why a carefully crafted thesis statement functions as ‘the driving force’ of any academic writing composition; i.e. it outlines the purpose of your writing. Therefore, a sound thesis shapes your organization and focus. Without it, what you write would lack direction. In the workshop we look at how a thesis statement is composed of the following: opinion, topic, purposes, and parts. We also come to an understanding of the differences between a thesis statement and research questions.
