Talk:Rhetoric and Composition/Writing in the Humanities

I'm wondering if should make a separate section for the elements of a paper, maybe named, "Elements of a Paper."

Right now I am editing "Writing in the Humanities." I am doing work on the Thesis Statement and Introduction. But what I am finding is that the information on the Thesis Statement will apply to all papers written that require a thesis statement, not only to writing a paper in the humanities.

If we separate this out a little, it would give the student visiting this site the clearer picture of how to write a thesis statement, introduction, etc.

After doing some research, however, I may decide to keep it this way. Writing a thesis statement for a paper in the humanities will differ a bit from writing a thesis statement for a paper in the sciences.

--tigerrat29 11 October 2006 (UTC) There is a very solid foundation here. I found at least one instance of "sexist" language, where all authors are referred to as "he". We'll need to clean those out in order to be SCSU kosher. Be looking for places to clean up phrasing, sometimes these authors use more words than necessary or unclear words. The only other thing that I'd like to see happen on this page is some clarifying on the difference between "interpretive" and "analytical" writing. Reading the entry here, I'm not sure there's a clear distinction.
