Additional
guidance:
Compose the
introduction last; this way you will have a better idea of what you are
introducing, now that you have written it.
Get to the
point asap. Don’t compose an introduction that rambles and make your thesis
difficult to discern. Remember that the introduction servers to introduce MAJOR
points in the paper and clearly identify your thesis. Leave specific details to
the body of the paper.
Do not
start your paper with… “The purpose of this paper…” instead, ensure that your
engaging and professional sounding tone and good word choices to catch your
reader’s attention with a thought-provoking argument.
Remember
that the academic tone does not include the use of contractions and sland and use
of idiom is discouraged.
For this
paper, you may use first person, but do so sparingly. (The jury is out on use
of the first person – some profs prefer qualification (third person), others
don’t)
