What is My Paper About, After All? -- Revising Thesis Statements
Friday April 4
12:10-1:10 pm, Alumni Hall 117

Are your thesis statements notoriously vague? Do your papers “explore” topics instead of making arguments? Do your introductions fail to represent the full scope of your analysis? This workshop will present strategies for revising thesis statements relatively late in the writing process--after you’ve completed a first draft.

Facilitated by John Morrell & Megan Minarich

Revision Strategies
Tuesday April 8
4:00-5:00 pm, Alumni Hall 117

Revision is one of the most important phases in the writing process: more than just making a few corrections and elaborating on a few points, it’s about seeing your writing with fresh eyes. Join us to learn different tools and strategies for revising your work at any stage.
