1
Outline the argument
Provide your research question, audience, intended contribution, and a short list of points supported by sources you have read. Compare the proposed order with your own reasoning before drafting.
2
Revise the prose
Work on a passage you wrote. Request clearer transitions or shorter sentences, while specifying claims, terminology, and caveats that must remain unchanged.
3
Audit against sources
Check each factual statement and citation in the revised passage against the original publication. Remove unsupported additions and follow your institution's disclosure rules.
