Paragraphs are the basic unit of academic papers, but writing well composed paragraphs is a difficult art to master. In this video, we will review the basic paragraph structure in academic writing and offer some tips for writing effective paragraphs that improve the strength and clarity of your argument. We will discuss what makes a paragraph unified, cohesive, and coherent, review the common problems of unfocused or “listy” paragraphs, and identify techniques you can use to fix these issues.
