The discussion section is the body of your paper. The discussion section contains information that develops and supports your thesis. While there is no particular form that a discussion section must take there are several considerations that a writer must follow when building a discussion.

• Stay focused.
• Organize your points.
• Relate the discussion to your thesis.
