You will be writing many seminar papers during the course of the quarter. Seminar
papers should follow a conventional essay format with a strong thesis statement in your opening paragraph and
supporting paragraphs with topic sentences that thread back to the thesis. These
supporting paragraphs develop the thesis by using details, examples, observations,
references, etc. to support the points you as the writer are making. Finally, you
will have a strong concluding paragraph.
