Five+Tests


 * Five Tests:**
 * 1) Does the thesis inspire a reasonable reader to ask, "How?" or Why?"
 * 2) Would a reasonable reader NOT respond with "Duh!" or "So what?" or "Gee, no kidding!" or "Who cares?"
 * 3) Does the thesis avoid general phrasing and/or sweeping words such as "all" or "none" or "every"?
 * 4) Does the thesis lead the reader toward the topic sentences (the subtopics needed to prove the thesis)?
 * 5) Can the thesis be adequately developed in the required length of the paper or project?p
