The Writing Center @ UVa

314 bryan hall, writing theses and claims.

Virtually all genres of academic writing rely to some degree on claims as the engine of arguments, whether as the main point of arguments (the central claim or thesis) or as supporting points (subclaims).

For this reason, writing effective claims is vital to success in academic writing. But what is a claim? How do you distinguish it from other statements. To understand claims, it can be helpful to distinguish them from facts and opinions, as follows.

What is a claim?

• Example: Vanilla ice cream is the highest selling flavor of ice cream in the United States . (This is a fact because it can’t be reasonably argued against. The sales figures are pretty ironclad.)
• Example: Vanilla ice cream is the best flavor of ice cream.  (This is an opinion because it isn’t arguable. It’s based solely in someone’s subjectivity, their preferences.)
• Example: The ubiquity of vanilla ice cream disconnects consumers from the complex and unethical agriculture practices that create it. (This is a claim because it can be argued with, and it can be supported with evidence)

Dispelling some myths about claims

Sometimes, people are given a set of rules about claims that don’t apply in all contexts. Here are some common beliefs about claims that aren’t necessarily true or are perhaps only true in some circumstances.

• NOT NECESSARILY TRUE. This may have been true in high school writing contexts, but in college and beyond different audiences have different expectations for where central claims will be located. Sometimes it’s after a few paragraphs. Sometimes it’s in the middle. Sometimes it’s at the end. At the college level, it’s time to start thinking more rhetorically (meaning thinking about audience expectations and impact) about where the central claim should go.
• NOT NECESSARILY TRUE. You can use a formula, but you don’t have to. And the formula’s you’ve learned previously may only be useful in the specific context you in which you learned them.
• NOT TRUE AT ALL. Central claims differ depending on the genre in which you’re writing. They look different in different disciplines (history, english, psychology, biology), and they look different in genres outside of academia, as well.
• NOT NECESSARILY TRUE. Again, they might be, but as writing becomes more sophisticated and topics more complex, it’s likely that you’ll come up with central or supporting claims that are more than one sentence long. That’s fine, potentially good even.

Two Types of claims

• Example: The University of Virginia should change its admissions practices in an effort to admit more low-income students.
• Example: The University of Virginia’s admissions practices create systemic hurdles to the admission of low-income students.

Two ways of doing claims

• Explicit – a claim that is clearly stated
• Implicit – a claim that is implied

Good claims have 3 features

• Focused – typically, the most specific a claim is the better
• Arguable – someone could reasonably argue against it
• This example is bad because it’s not focused enough. It’s technically a claim, but it’s too broad and not revelatory.
• This claim is better because it’s more focused and as a result more arguable and revelatory.

maklumat terbaru berkenaan tuntutan elaun tesis JPA

• Kat mana nak dapatkan borang tuntutan ni? :  Anda boleh ambil di BHEP universiti masing-masing atau muat turun di website esilav JPA atau boleh muat turun gambar di atas ni je kot kihkih.
• Borang baru ni  tak perlu cop dekan & majikan (SV).
• Alamat Bank nak letak alamat mula-mula buka akaun ke?  : Saya tak tahu jawapannya. Ada je orang letak hanya  "Bank Islam"  di ruangan tersebut. Tapi kalau lah saya kan (kalau ye kalau), saya letak je alamat bank (full address) yang saya buka akaun atau alamat bank yang berhampiran dengan rumah saya. 
• Jenis tuntutan :  elaun amali atau tesis.
• Perlu ke attach kan sekali bil/invois/resit? : Kalau ada, attach kan je sekali.
• Kalau tak ada bil/invois/resit? :  Kalau tak ada, tak apa kot kalau tak sertakan. Tapi usaha kan lah supaya ada sebab di borang permohonan tu ada disebut tentang resit.
• Jumlah tuntutan nak letak berapa?  : Kalau saya dulu saya dapat RM300 untuk elaun tesis tapi dalam borang saya tak letak apa-apa amount pun sebab memang dah ditetapkan. Tapi kalau yang baru ni, saya pun rasa t ak perlu letak apa-apa nilai. Tak payah isi RM300 atau apa-apa di situ. Biarkan sahaja kosong. Pengawai JPA yang bertugas akan letak amount di situ.

WGS 84 coordinate reference system is the latest revision of the World Geodetic System, which is used in mapping and navigation, including GPS satellite navigation system (the Global Positioning System).

Geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) define a position on the Earth’s surface. Coordinates are angular units. The canonical form of latitude and longitude representation uses degrees (°), minutes (′), and seconds (″). GPS systems widely use coordinates in degrees and decimal minutes, or in decimal degrees.

Latitude varies from −90° to 90°. The latitude of the Equator is 0°; the latitude of the South Pole is −90°; the latitude of the North Pole is 90°. Positive latitude values correspond to the geographic locations north of the Equator (abbrev. N). Negative latitude values correspond to the geographic locations south of the Equator (abbrev. S).

Longitude is counted from the prime meridian ( IERS Reference Meridian for WGS 84) and varies from −180° to 180°. Positive longitude values correspond to the geographic locations east of the prime meridian (abbrev. E). Negative longitude values correspond to the geographic locations west of the prime meridian (abbrev. W).

UTM or Universal Transverse Mercator coordinate system divides the Earth’s surface into 60 longitudinal zones. The coordinates of a location within each zone are defined as a planar coordinate pair related to the intersection of the equator and the zone’s central meridian, and measured in meters.

Elevation above sea level is a measure of a geographic location’s height. We are using the global digital elevation model GTOPO30 .
