Writing: Six Principles of Good Writing

Insight

The writer has found creative ways to integrate, synthesize, and interpret challenging ideas.


Things to consider and ask yourself about the insight of your writing:

  • Does the essay synthesize, evaluate, and interpret the material presented?
  • Is the essay creative or innovative in any ways?
  • Are the thesis and arguments challenging?
  • Does your work acknowledge and incorporate conventions of ethical presentation as addressed by your discipline?

This information comes from the Campus Writing Program "The Six Principles of Good Writing" document.
