Paragraphs

Paragraphs are composed around topics, which naturally and organically emerge from a complex, focused, and sophisticated thesis.

Each paragraph explores one topic and one topic only.

Topics directly relate to the thesis and are not theses in and of themselves.

The paragraph completely and fully develops and explains the topic and provides details, examples, illustrations, and quotations from research as well as from the primary texts.

Topics and paragraphs rise above commonplace thinking and summary.

Quoted material is used powerfully to support analytical points (and not as padding).

There is a graceful transition to the next paragraph.

The ideas explored are significant, substantive, and instructive.

Ideas/topics support the overarching thesis so that the paper is a unified whole, and not a concatenation of appended mini-essays.

Grammar/Mechanics/Style

Grammar refers to the correct usage of Standard American English.

Mechanics refers to idiomatic conventions (capitalization of proper nouns, spelling, and punctuation).

Style refers to persuasiveness, sophistication, wit, and transcendent quality.

Sentences should be varied in length and complexity without loss of clarity or precision of meaning.

Style makes a paper a pleasure to read.
