What Yessay checks
Thesis checks ask whether the controlling idea is clear enough to guide every paragraph that follows.
Specificity
Check whether the thesis names a focused idea instead of a broad topic.
Debatability
For argument essays, review whether the claim can actually be argued.
How it helps
A thesis should give the essay a job
The thesis is not just a sentence in the introduction. It should shape what each body paragraph proves or explains.
Yessay reviews your thesis in context so feedback can account for the assignment type, evidence, and overall structure.
Example thesis feedback
Draft thesis: Social media affects students.
This is a topic, not yet a thesis. A stronger version would make a focused claim, such as social media weakens academic focus by encouraging constant comparison and interrupting deep work.
Common mistakes
The issues students usually miss alone.
Writing a fact instead of a claim
A thesis should usually do more than state something true.
Making the thesis too broad
Broad claims are harder to support with specific evidence.
Changing direction after the thesis
Body paragraphs should connect back to the claim introduced at the start.

Not every essay is argumentative, but most academic essays still need a clear controlling idea.
Where should the thesis go?+
