subject: How To Organize A Successful Thesis Statement [print this page]


Every paper a student writes requires a successful thesis. Without a thesis, your paper is like a house built without a foundation. It won't have a strong support system and will likely fail. Fortunately, to create a thesis is both practical and useful for every student. You can learn how to organize a successful thesis with some thought and understanding.

Simply put, a thesis is a statement of belief and/or fact. For many papers your thesis is a statement you believe to be fact that your paper then proves through research or explanation. As you display through the organization, this is what you believe to be true and now you are explaining why it is true. Begin by thinking about what you would like to prove or talk about for your current paper.

Not every idea you have makes an ideal thesis statement. One of the most challenging experiences every student has is when they realize that their statement cannot be proven. Sometimes it's because the research does not support it. Other times it's because through doing the research the student changes their mind about what they believe and now they need a different thesis statement. This can be a bit frustrating and sometimes even scary, but it's an exciting time. It shows that your schooling is really teaching you to both learn and think.

If you are having trouble in the course, don't be shy about asking for the help of the teacher or a tutor. Sometimes if the class is hard for you, it can be challenge coming up with a statement because you're having trouble understanding the course itself. This is a sign you need additional help, and now is the time to act. Speak with your professor or tutoring services about getting assistance. Work with them on your paper and the rest of the course.

Many classes now require you to show your thesis statement and/or outline to your professor before you write your paper. This is a very useful process as they can point out potential challenges. Be sure to turn in your thesis and/or outline on time to get the most assistance. Your teacher can make suggestions to change your statement if necessary.

Here's a big tip to selecting your thesis statement: consider what about the course you have liked or disliked so far. Look to this information to help you choose your current thesis. There are probably some subjects in the course you especially enjoyed that would be ideal paper topics you could select. On the other hand, if there is something you didn't like, you could take the challenger's side and see if you can prove or disprove something. Either stance you take is bound to be interesting.
