How to Write High Quality Paragraphs: Unity, Order, Cohesion, Completeness | PhD Thesis Writing Tips

Paragraph Structure is something we learn about in school, but tend to forget over the years.

Let's revisit the basics in order to write a well-developed, effective paragraph. A paragraph should have a beginning, a middle, and an end. And it should follow 4 key elements: unity, order, cohesion, and completeness. I explain each of these in the video using an example from my own literature review. I really hope this video will help you with your writing, be sure to let me know any of your tips in the comments and subscribe to see more PhD related content.

Quick q - did you learn academic writing on your own? I've been in academia for years now and my brain seems to just be resistant to this writing structure. I feel kinda stupid. Maybe it'll click if I actually put effort into practicing it more often
