Thesis Statements (Video tutorial by Purdue OWL)

PLEASE NOTE:

For our class, you will only write a 1-sentence thesis statement and place it at the very end of your Introduction paragraph. 



While the speaker states at the beginning of this video that it could be a few sentences in length, please keep in mind that I will deduct points for a thesis that is more than 1-sentence long and not placed as the last sentence of the Introduction paragraph. 



Many other instructors at the AA and BA levels will follow these same rules; therefore, stick to this rule for best response from your undergraduate instructors.
