Revise from large to small

Confirm that your thesis answers the question and that every major section advances the thesis before spending time on individual sentences.

Audit claim and evidence

Mark each important claim, then identify the evidence and reasoning that support it. A citation cannot replace your explanation of why the evidence matters.

Finish with consistency

After substantive revision, review paragraph flow, terminology, citation style, reference matching, grammar, spelling, and document formatting.

Apply this framework to one section of your current project, then record the decision you made and the evidence supporting it. If you need one-to-one feedback, Dr. Jack can help within your institution's academic-integrity rules.
