Qualified Thesis
GRE glossary · GRE
Definition
A clear position that acknowledges meaningful limits, conditions, or exceptions.
Qualified Thesis in plain English
Take a clear side while naming the condition that limits it. A thesis becomes stronger, not weaker, when it explains when the claim holds and where an exception matters.
