• Last updated

• Page ID 225928

TOPIC VERSUS THESIS?

The subject you are writing about is the topic. Add your opinion to a topic to create a thesis.

Topic + opinion = thesis

Add the significance to make a more complex thesis:

Topic + opinion + so what? = thesis

WHAT IS A THESIS?

The thesis is the main point of an essay, a focused, arguable statement which allows the reader to make predictions about the reading.

WHAT ARE THE CHARACTERISTICS OF AN EFFECTIVE THESIS?

• The language is clear , straight-forward and can’t be misunderstood.
• It is contestable and arguable. Ask yourself: Could someone disagree? The answer should be yes.
• It is concentrated on a focused point: not too broad and not too narrow, but the right size for the assignment.
• It is complex and delves into the larger significance or impact.
• It is compelling and draws in your readers’ interest and makes them want to read more to see how you prove your claim.
• It is directly connected to the prompt/question/assignment for the essay.

A THESIS IS NOT:

Why use a thesis.

• It allows the reader to make predictions about the reading.
• It guides the writer to stay focused on the main idea of the essay.
• It generates thought, evidence and analysis.
• What am I trying to accomplish in this essay?
• What do I want to convince my reader of?

HOW DO I KNOW IT'S A THESIS?

TOPIC + OPINION = THESIS

A thesis is TOPIC + OPINION so you need to make sure that opinion in present or else it is not a thesis statement. The opinion is what makes a thesis arguable and it provides the purpose and focus for the paper: to convince your reader of that opinion.

Locating the Opinion in a Thesis: When you look for the opinion in a thesis, ask yourself: What is the writer’s attitude towards the topic? For example, in the sentence “Backpacking in the mountains last year was an exciting experience,” the topic is “backpacking” and the opinion is that this trip was “exciting.” Another person on the same trip might have had a different attitude and may have found the trip boring or exhausting. “Exciting” reveals the writer’s attitude and also indicates what the essay with this thesis statement will be focused on: demonstrating why it was “exciting.” This thesis statement limits the writer’s focus and clearly tells the reader what the essay will be about.

Practice: Topic and Opinion of a thesis

Put a box around the TOPIC and underline the OPINION words below. If there are no opinion words, it is not a thesis :

• The subject of unwarranted fears, most bats are harmless and highly beneficial.
• Vigorous exercise is a good way to reduce the effects of stress on the body.
• Buffalo and Toronto differ in four major ways.
• Developing color film is more complicated than developing black and white.
• In this essay I will discuss abortion.
• Television is destroying the unity of the modern family.
• In her essay, Erlich shows that there is a balance of community and isolation in her hometown.

Put a box around the TOPIC and underline the OPINION words below:

• The subject of unwarranted fears, most bats are harmless and highly beneficial .
• In this essay I will discuss abortion (no opinion words—not a thesis)
• In her essay, Erlich shows that there is a balance of community and isolation in her hometown .

HOW DO I KNOW IT'S A COMPLEX THESIS?

TOPIC + OPINION + SO WHAT? = COMPLEX THESIS

A complex thesis is TOPIC + OPINION + SO WHAT? To form an arguable thesis, add opinion to a topic, and to make a more complex thesis, add “so what?” So what is the larger significance, the implications, and/or the outcomes of what you are arguing?

Practice: List the thesis topic and opinion

Below are student-created thesis statements about non-fiction texts. For each thesis, list the TOPIC, the OPINION and the “SO WHAT?”

THESIS STATEMENTS ON NON-FICTION TEXTS:

(1) In Field Notes from a Catastrophe, Elizabeth Kolbert seeks to use the evidence she has collected across her years of worldwide travel to show how we should best address climate change. Kolbert uses the island of Samsø to support her case for the mass implementation of alternative energy sources, but she does not point out the many cons that come with the use of alternative energy sources that are wind, biofuels, and solar which is reason enough to refrain from attempts at a greater implementation of them until problems of space, waste, and cost are addressed. TOPIC: _________________________________________________________________________ OPINION: _______________________________________________________________________ SO WHAT? ______________________________________________________________________ (2) In her book Field Notes from a Catastrophe , Elizabeth Kolbert argues that everybody needs to work on ending humans’ carbon emissions to prevent catastrophic climate change on our planet. However, at this point, catastrophic climate change in inevitable, so instead we need to focus our efforts on researching ways to make the new climates survivable. TOPIC: _________________________________________________________________________ OPINION: _______________________________________________________________________ SO WHAT? ______________________________________________________________________

(3) T.V Reed in his book The Art of Protest, argues that environmentalism has been coded as a “white issue.” If those raising the awareness are perceived as largely white and well-off preaching to and within the same demographic, the probability of those most impacted, namely the poor communities of color who disproportionately suffer environmental hazards and toxic dumps, having a voice is dismal, so meaningful change will not occur. TOPIC: _________________________________________________________________________ OPINION: _______________________________________________________________________ SO WHAT? ______________________________________________________________________ (4) In The Art of Protest , T.V. Reed in his chapter “Singing Civil Rights,” says that music during the time of the Civil Rights Movement soulfully spoke about the oppressions of racism against blacks in America. Nowadays, Hip-Hop is one of the main driving forces keeping the conversation going about the continued inequalities that blacks suffer, and this is particularly important in an age of rising police brutality targeted at black men. TOPIC: _________________________________________________________________________ OPINION: _______________________________________________________________________ SO WHAT? ______________________________________________________________________ (5) In I Am Malala, Malala Yousafzai shows how education can be used to combat terrorism in Pakistan because when people become more educated, they can more confidently self-advocate and are less susceptible to being falsely seduced by empty propaganda, so if the country follows Malala’s lead, it can rid itself of the Taliban influence. TOPIC: _________________________________________________________________________ OPINION: _______________________________________________________________________ SO WHAT? ______________________________________________________________________

(6) Malala Yousafzai’s story, as told in her book I am Malala , is powerful and her cause is admirable but her idea that education combats terrorism is simplistic and glosses over the importance of the geopolitical situation Pakistan finds itself in. Education in this environment is no guarantee of deradicalization and may even work to galvanize their cause. In a political context of postcolonial exploitation where foreign governments actively try to destabilize the country and fund extremist groups, education will just make more effective terrorists. TOPIC: _________________________________________________________________________ OPINION: _______________________________________________________________________ SO WHAT? ______________________________________________________________________ (7) In Anthony Swofford’s Jarhead , we see a military culture of toxic masculinity—where relationships with women are transactional, showing emotional sensitivity is weakness, and violence is the preferred method of conflict resolution. This phenomenon is systemic in all branches of the military and is the catalyst for the extensive number of sexual harassment cases, rape, and high rates of suicide for service members. TOPIC: _________________________________________________________________________ OPINION: _______________________________________________________________________ SO WHAT? ______________________________________________________________________ (8) In Jarhead, Anthony Swofford described how the soldier’s first amendment rights are suspended once they sign the military contract. This silencing ensures that the Marines continue to follow orders from the “top” without any objections, and this control ensures that the interests of the rich and powerful are protected while the rights of the soldiers as U.S. citizens are violated, and this enables war for profit to continue. TOPIC: _________________________________________________________________________ OPINION: _______________________________________________________________________ SO WHAT? ______________________________________________________________________

(1) Topic : greater implementation of alternative energy sources Opinion: problems with alternative energy are not satisfactorily solved So What? wider implementation of alternative energy could worsen current problems of space, waste and cost

(2) Topic : catastrophic climate change Opinion: catastrophic climate change is inevitable So What? need to refocus efforts from reducing carbon emissions to adaptation and survival

(3) Topic : only whites leading environment movement Opinion: non-whites most impacted but no voice So What? no change

(4) Topic : music conveying black oppression Opinion: today hip-hop conveys on-going black oppression So What? importantly exposes rise in police brutality targeting black men

(5) Topic : education to combat terrorism in Pakistan Opinion: more education leads to people self-advocating and not being tricked by propaganda So What? Pakistan can rid itself of Taliban

(6) Topic : education to combat terrorism in Pakistan Opinion: foreign countries are actively trying to destabilize Pakistan and are funding extremists So What? education will make more effective terrorists

(7) Topic : military culture of toxic masculinity Opinion: toxic masculinity is systemic in all branches of military So What? leads to sexual harassment, rape and suicide

(8) Topic : freedom of speech of soldiers suspended Opinion: silence allows the rich and powerful to use soldiers as they like So What? allows war for profit to continue

Practice: List the "topic", "opinion" and "so what"?

Below are student-created thesis statements about fiction texts. For each thesis, list the TOPIC, the OPINION and the “SO WHAT?”

THESIS STATEMENTS ON FICTION TEXTS: POETRY

(1) Before the abolition of slavery in 1865, Frances Ellen Watkins Harper, fashioned her poem “Bury Me in a Free Land” to sharpen the glaring contradiction between the most cherished American value of freedom, and its antithesis expressed in the enslavement and brutalization of African Americans. Harper thereby forces her readers to come to terms with their own hypocrisy as Americans to hasten the demise of slavery. TOPIC: _________________________________________________________________________ OPINION: _______________________________________________________________________ SO WHAT? ______________________________________________________________________ (2) In the different stanzas in her poem “Bury Me in a Free Land,” Frances Ellen Watkins Harper, gives graphic snapshots depicting the horrors of slavery: blacks sold like animals on the auction block, escaped blacks being hunted down, blacks being whipped and beaten bloody, black babies being taken from mothers. Unfortunately, African-Americans living in the “land of the free” today still suffer many of these same forms of injustice as their labor continues to be exploited, as they suffer higher rates of profiling and murder, and as their families continue to be torn apart due to mass incarceration. TOPIC: _________________________________________________________________________ OPINION: _______________________________________________________________________ SO WHAT? ______________________________________________________________________

THESIS STATEMENTS ON FICTION TEXTS: Short Stories

(3) In Zora Neale Hurston’s short story “Sweat,” Sykes, a black man living in the Jim Crow South, constantly feels the need to assert his masculinity over Delia through acts of abuse and adultery in order to make up for insecurities resulting from his failure to fulfill the traditional male roles of provider and protector. TOPIC: _________________________________________________________________________ OPINION: _______________________________________________________________________ SO WHAT? ______________________________________________________________________ (4) In her short story “Sweat,” Zora Neale Hurston makes her reader feel empathy for the main character Delia, a hardworking woman who endures years of mental and physical abuse from her husband. Through helping her reader care about Delia, Hurston enables her reader to feel the triple burden of oppression of being black, female and poor in America. TOPIC: _________________________________________________________________________ OPINION: _______________________________________________________________________ SO WHAT? ______________________________________________________________________

THESIS STATEMENTS ON FICTION TEXTS: Plays (Drama)

(5) Yusef’s wife, Anbara, writes revolutionary articles in the play Tennis in Nablus by Ismail Khalidi highlighting women’s empowerment and support as absolutely essential for the success of any movement or revolution that aspires toward real change. Khalidi uses symbolism and imagery to demonstrate that a primary reason for the failure of the Palestinian nation to escape the abuse of their British oppressors was because of their refusal to empower the most deeply oppressed members of their own society, their women. TOPIC: _________________________________________________________________________ OPINION: _______________________________________________________________________ SO WHAT? ______________________________________________________________________ (6) In his play Tennis in Nablus , Ismail Khalidi creates an emotional connection for his audience to the struggle of the Palestinians in their revolt against the British in the 1930s by describing a division within a family and using it as a metaphor for the divisive impact of colonization in Palestine then and afterwards. TOPIC: _________________________________________________________________________ OPINION: _______________________________________________________________________ SO WHAT? ______________________________________________________________________

THESIS STATEMENTS ON FICTION TEXTS: Novels

(7) In Reading Lolita in Tehran , Azar Nafisi demonstrates how literature is not only powerful enough to become a threat against oppressive regimes, but that it also emotionally liberates those who are covertly standing against the oppressive government. By studying Vladimir Nabokov’s novel Lolita in their secret book club, Nafisi and her students were able to relate to Lolita’s struggle but also reject being passive victims, which inspires the students to silently resist their oppressive government. TOPIC: _________________________________________________________________________ OPINION: _______________________________________________________________________ SO WHAT? ______________________________________________________________________ (8) In Azar Nafisi's novel, Reading Lolita in Tehran, she incorporates the classic American novel The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald in conjunction with telling the history of and her experiences in the Islamic Republic of Tehran to demonstrate how reconstructing and living in the past only dooms the future. TOPIC: _________________________________________________________________________ OPINION: _______________________________________________________________________ SO WHAT? ______________________________________________________________________

(1) Topic : American values of freedom versus slavery Opinion: American values of freedom contradict slavery So What? coming to terms with this hypocrisy hastens the end of slavery

(2) Topic : treatment of African-Americans during slavery versus now Opinion: the ways blacks suffered during slavery can still be seen today So What? African-Americans are still not truly free

(3) Topic : Sykes’ abuse of Delia Opinion: abuse results from need to assert masculinity So What? need to assert masculinity results from failure to be provider and protector. Implied: racism has emasculated, disempowered and embittered Sykes

(4) Topic : empathy for Delia Opinion: Hurston makes her reader feel empathy for Delia So What? empathy will lead to understanding the oppression resulting from race, gender, and class

(5) Topic : Palestinian revolt against the British Opinion: women are essential to revolution and real change So What? Palestinian revolt failed due to not empowering their own women

(6) Topic : Palestinian revolt against the British Opinion: emotional connection is made through divided family So What? divided family a metaphor for Palestine then and after

(7) Topic : Nafisi’s use of Lolita Opinion: Lolita helped the women to reject being passive victims So What? inspires silent resistance to government

What is the Complex Sentence Thesis Formula?

The Complex Sentence Thesis Formula is a structured approach to crafting thesis statements that incorporate intricate ideas within a single sentence. It involves constructing a thesis statement using a complex sentence structure, which includes one main clause (the claim) and one or more subordinate clauses (the reasons or supporting points). This formula allows you to present a layered argument that showcases the depth of your analysis.

What is the structure of a complex thesis statement?

A complex thesis statement typically follows a structure that comprises a main clause and one or more subordinate clauses. The main clause presents the main argument or claim, while the subordinate clauses provide additional context, reasons, evidence, or supporting points that elaborate on the claim. The structure can be represented as follows:

Main Clause (Claim) + Subordinate Clause(s) (Reasons or Supporting Points)

How long is a complex thesis statement?

The length of a complex thesis statement can vary, but it is generally a single sentence that effectively conveys the main argument and supporting points. The complexity of the argument often necessitates a longer sentence to accommodate multiple clauses. However, it’s essential to strike a balance between complexity and clarity, ensuring that the statement remains concise and understandable.  You should also take a look at our  Tentative thesis statement .

Tips for Writing a Complex Sentence Thesis Statement

• Start with the Main Claim: Begin your complex sentence with the main argument or claim you intend to make.
• Use Subordinate Clauses Strategically: Subordinate clauses should provide relevant context, reasons, evidence, or examples that enhance the complexity of your argument.
• Be Concise: While complex, the thesis statement should be concise and focused on conveying your main argument and supporting points.
• Avoid Ambiguity: Ensure that each clause in the sentence contributes to the overall clarity of the argument. Avoid vague or ambiguous language.
• Maintain Parallel Structure: If you include multiple subordinate clauses, strive for parallel structure to enhance readability and coherence.
• Consider Sentence Length: While longer sentences are acceptable, avoid excessive length that may hinder readability.
• Revise and Proofread: After writing your complex sentence thesis statement, revise and proofread to eliminate errors and refine the wording.
• Seek Feedback: Share your complex thesis statement with peers or instructors to gain insights into its effectiveness and clarity.
• Practice Writing Complex Sentences: Developing the skill of constructing complex sentences takes practice. Experiment with different sentence structures to find what works best for your argument.
• Capture Complexity: Use your complex thesis statement to capture the multifaceted nature of your topic, showcasing your ability to analyze intricate ideas.

Creating a complex sentence thesis statement requires precision, careful thought, and a strong grasp of the topic. By following this guide and incorporating these tips, you can craft a thesis statement that effectively conveys layered arguments and demonstrates your mastery of complex writing structures.

Analysis of Functions of Split-Complex, Multicomplex, and Split-Quaternionic Variables and Their Associated Conformal Geometries

• Description

Emanuello, John Anthony (author) Nolder, Craig (professor directing dissertation) Tabor, Samuel Lynn (university representative) Case, Bettye Anne (committee member) Quine, J. R. (John R.) (committee member) Florida State University (degree granting institution) College of Arts and Sciences (degree granting college) Department of Mathematics (degree granting department)

The connections between algebra, geometry, and analysis have led the way for numerous results in many areas of mathematics, especially complex analysis. Considerable effort has been made to develop higher dimensional analogues of the complex numbers, such as Clifford algebras and Multicomplex numbers. These rely heavily on geometric notions, and we explore the analysis which results. This is what is called hyper-complex analysis. This dissertation explores the most prominent of these higher dimensional analogues and highlights a many of the relevant results which have appeared in the last four decades, and introduces new ideas which can be used to further the research of this discipline. Indeed, the objects of interest are Clifford algebras, the algebra of the Multicomplex numbers, and functions which are valued in these algebras and lie in the kernels of linear operators. These lead to prominent results in Clifford analysis and multicomplex analysis which can be viewed as analogues of complex analysis. Additionally, we explain the link between Clifford algebras and conformal geometry. We explore two low dimensional examples, namely the split-complex numbers and split-quaternions, and demonstrate how linear fractional transformations are conformal mappings in these settings.

Complex-split thesis.

The dreaded complex split thesis. Our teacher requires one. Figures everything I ever learned in English up to now is null and void in APUSH >.<

I would appreciate a few tips on how to write one because the packet makes no sense to one with a head cold.

I'd prefer a generic example, but here's the DBQ prompt we've been given: Although New England and the Cheapeake region were both settled largely by people of English origin, by 1700 the regions had evolved into two distinct societies. Why did this difference occur?

~BTW, I did follow the other steps (write down what you know..yada, yada) My main topics are: social structure, political organization (includes motives for founding), and geographical differences (which lead to economical differences)~

Split Complex Projects into a Separate List from quick ones?

• Thread starter Eureka!
• Start date Aug 3, 2009
• Aug 3, 2009

Hi Everybody, I am having an issue with lumping projects of all sizes into the same list. I think I'm mentally resisting reviewing the list because I don't like seeing 2-3 NA projects alongside projects that will take weeks or months to complete. I also feel like it's distracting to have large complex projects and their smaller subprojects all sitting on the same list. Does anyone use more than one project list to handle these issues? Maybe a "Main Project" and "Sub Project" division, or a high complexity / low complexity split? Looking forward to hearing any responses! Thanks  

Nope, I don't split up the Project list. What's uncomfortable about having big and small projects on the same list? What are you afraid will happen?

There's no simple answer but in my experience it's best to avoid adding projects and more granular sub-projects directly to your project list. To make the Project list work well you must define your outcomes at the appropriate levels and leverage project support material for planning and tracking intermediate outcomes or milestones within a project. As a general guideline, David Allen suggests defining outcomes that one can complete within a 9-12 month window as projects. Larger outcomes that require more time are usually considered goals (short or long-term). This guideline doesn't apply to everyone and all circumstances; it's just a guide. Some will define projects that will last more than two years and goals that last only six months based on a number of factors. I track goals on a list of short-term (1-2 year) goals and a list of long-term (3-5 year) goals. These lists are in a set of reference lists under the category "Focus Areas". I review those as often as I feel the need to reconnect to the higher altitudes of my work, but I review each and every project on my Projects list every week during the weekly review. I track intermediate outcomes on a project such as milestones and deliverables on a project plan (formal or informal), which resides with the project's support material. As I review each project I examine the corresponding support material for things like due dates on milestones and add reminders of these upcoming due dates to my calendar. I also use the support material to evaluate the current status of the project and define new next actions. I'll illustrate with a some examples: -Obtain a master's degree (GOAL) -Set up school registration for upcoming semester (PROJECT) -Call school for appointment with registrar (ACTION) -Develop corporate web site (PROJECT) -Finalize requirements deliverable (MILESTONE, TRACKED IN SUPPORT MATERIAL, NOT ON PROJECTS LIST) -Due Date reminder for requirements deliverable (DAY-SPECIFIC REMINDER ON CALENDAR) -Draft requirements deliverable (ACTION) I hope that clarifies things a little. -Luke  

I'm not sure exactly what's causing the mental block, but here's an example of something that I find distracting: Let's say I am moving in 3 months, so I have a project on my list called "Move to new House." I also have a sub project called "Get house ready for Sale / Sell House" That also has a sub project called "Get House Painted" That has a subproject called "Reach out to friends for painter recommendations" When I have lots of subprojects nested into larger projects it just feels kind of cumbersome to have to read each and every one of those whenever I go back to my projects list to find new NA's for my context lists. The bigger, more complex projects (ie. Move to New House) really only need to be looked at periodically and having to constantly. Maybe I just need to put a * or some other character in front of the "master" projects so they all get sorted together and can be ignored as a group when i just want to focus on my smaller ones? Edit: I just saw the prior two responses. I think what I will try is to put "big" projects together by adding a lead "*" to the project name and sorting alphabetically (I'm using Outlook) but keep all subprojects related to those big ones in the project support materials instead of also adding them to the list. That way every project I add to my list will be a "top level" project, but I'll have an easy way to see which ones are complex and contain more detailed planning and subprojects in the project support materials.

Thanks everyone for your comments, I really appreciate it!  

A month ago finished my PhD thesis, and it was in the final writing process that I started using a split projects list. While writing thesis I had separated all my thesis related projects into a separate list. They were all subprojects of the main project/goal: thesis. The conveniences: I could really see how much more needs to be done before I call the main project done. So good for review. Also I could do a mini review of this without being bothered by other projects, which would be looked at at the weekly review anyway. I have continued that separation: I separate all the projects related to the course I am teaching. I haven't bothered to objectify the criteria as to why a particular set of projects should be separate; I just did that since I felt the need. So in short, if you feel more in control by splitting the list, go ahead. Make sure you review all at least once a week. Regards, Abhay

dusanv;69642 said: You could track only your complex projects on the master project list, and track the subprojects as part of a project plan in the big project's support material -- at least that's what DA suggests (see pg. 158.), and it's also how I do it. As an alternative, the book suggests you only keep the active and independent subprojects on the master list. Click to expand...

I chop large, complex projects into multiple small, simpler projects. The current subproject is on my active project list, and its last task points back to the project that spawned it. This may be overkill, but it's working for me for now. (But I don't know if it would work on paper. I'm using OmniFocus.) So, to use your house example, I might have: In the On Hold project list: Project: Move to new house Status: Waiting Next Action: Waiting for Sell House. Project: Sell House Status: Waiting Next Action: Waiting for Get House Ready For Sale (Multiple actions or subprojects, either preplanned or added as I get actions done.) Last Action: Return to Move to new house Project: Get House Ready For Sale Status: Waiting Next Action: Waiting for Declutter House. Next Action: Waiting for Get House Painted. (Multiple actions or subprojects, either preplanned or added as I get actions done.) Last Action: Return to Sell House In the Active project list: Project: Declutter House Status: Active Next Action: Recycle old newspaper collection. (Multiple actions, either preplanned or added as I get actions done.) Last Action: Return to Get House Ready For Sale Project: Get House Painted Status: Active Next Action: Make list of friends to ask for painter recommendations. (Multiple actions, either preplanned or added as I get actions done.) Last Action: Return to Get House Ready For Sale Gardener

Gerot, K. 2022. Split Classification Model for Complex Clustered Data. Undergraduate Honors Thesis. University of Nebraska-Lincoln.

Copyright Katherine Gerot 2022.

Classification in high-dimensional data has generated tremendous interest in a multitude of fields. Data in higher dimensions often tend to reside in non-Euclidean metric space. This prevents Euclidean-based classification methodologies, such as regression, from reliably modeling the data. Many proposed models rely on computationally-complex embedding to convert the data to a more usable format. Others, namely the Support Vector Machine, rely on kernel manipulation to implicitly describe the "feature space" to arrive at a non-linear decision boundary. The proposed methodology in this paper seeks to classify complex data in a relatively computationally-simple and explainable manner.
