Document Summary

In regards to relationship between thesis and evidence 3 potential problems: unsubstantiated claims. Made an argument, but failed to prove it: pointless evidence. Gives you all evidence, but you don"t say anything about it: where are you going with it, circular arguments. You have a claim, and the proof is the claim restate claim in evidence provided. What is a thesis: a claim, interpretation, argument. Must be controversial: your thesis can be in the introduction and conclusion (midterm essay) Thesis must evolve in introduction it is your tentative thesis while the one in the conclusion is the evolved thesis. Tentative thesis: it should follow the pattern that you went through when you did your research. Start at a certain point, come to a conclusion, then you think differently after reading, paper must reflect that.
