Document Summary

The hook should make it evident why the topic is interesting and important to generalist and specialist audiences. E. g. (cid:498)this paper is organized into x it reveals c. (cid:499) sections. The roadmap should use two complete sentences for every section and should state the major point that will be made rather than vaguely referencing what will be discussed. The hook is short and not strong. Gets straight to the point but does not grab your attention. I can"t tell as an interested or why it"s relevant. objective reader that knows nothing about this topic why i should be. I would suggest starting with some sort of interesting preamble. Allow the reader to see the relevance of this paper and why they should continue to read it. I believe the thesis is easy to identify. It is the second sentence of the essay.
