Thesis

Thesis When you compose an extended response in the HSC examination such as in Section III Paper 1 or in all sections in Paper II you are expected to present an informed and well developed thesis or line of argument that responds directly to the question. The thesis then shapes and drives your response and is supported judiciously by textual references and details. Thus, it naturally creates an integrated response to the question.

Visit the BOS site and read the feedback from the HSC Marking Centres. Each one will usually stress how good responses developed a clear and effective thesis.E.g. AOS//: 'Stronger responses exhibited a perceptive engagement with the comment, establishing a clear line of argument that was supported with an insightful analysis of the texts.'// MODULE A: //'// // Better responses developed a thesis which incorporated the given extract and demonstrated a strong conceptual understanding of the module and the elective.' //
