The GradPro blog at Concordia University recommends the Research Degree Voodoo post on “The Banana Test“.

The test was suggested by my colleague Karen, and is a great way to check if your sentence is too vague.

We’re glad you found it useful!

I teach research and writing skills at La Trobe University. I was part of the team that founded, and still run, #thesisbootcamp with the Graduate Students Association at the University of Melbourne. My book (with Inger Mewburn and Shaun Lehmann) How to Fix your Academic Writing Trouble came out in December 2018. Look out for my next books, Level Up and Your PhD Survival Guide coming out in 2020.
