oStaying the same throughout the essay
Thesis should change
Broad thesis that is repeated many times – supporting general
idea, and not interrogating the material

conclusion
•Given catalogue of evidence, without any elaboration of
argument
oArgument simply repeated
oCentral idea not evolving or motivating the paper
oSTATIC – not going anywhere
IN CONTRAST, a more effective thesis evolves by gaining
complexity and accuracy
•Still have a thesis
•Adequacy considered from various angles
•Have multiple perspectives
•Weak theses most easily detected by predictability,
repetiveness
Weak thesis – gaps in argument

OneClass has been such a huge help in my studies at UofT especially since I am a transfer student. OneClass is the study buddy I never had before and definitely gives me the extra push to get from a B to an A!
