Develop Your Writing - Writing Skills and Technique

 Basic rules as you write your thesis:

• Do not use a difficult word where a simple one will do

• An introductory paragraph for each individual section/chapter

• Use paragraphs to break your text into logically self-contained units

• Use punctuation correctly to aid the sense of your writing

• An introductory section/chapter for the thesis as a whole

• A consistent system of headings and sub-headings

• Avoid excessively long sentences
