How do you improve performance in humanities papers—especially argument flow, thesis strength, and analysis—rather than just summarizing sources?
Improving humanities papers means shifting from what sources say to what you argue. Start with a clear, debatable thesis that answers “why does this matter?” Then structure paragraphs around claims, not summaries—each paragraph should advance your argument, with evidence used selectively to support analysis. Always explain how and why a quote proves your point. Signposting helps flow (“This suggests…”, “In contrast…”). Finally, revise for coherence: cut redundant summary and sharpen interpretation. Reviewing model analyses—or structured help —can also clarify expectations.
