Thesis

I have always learned that a thesis usually comes in the beginning of an essay.  I like that the text says that it doesnt necesarily have to be at the beginning, becasue you dont always know what you are gonna do, so you can start writing and in the middle of the essay, when you find out what you acually want to prove, you can put the thesis in.

Revision

I agree that we should make a draft fairly quickly, and edit that right away. You dont wana wait till the last minute to make sure your essay or project is done corectly.  However, you dont want to spend too much time editing it, becasue you might forget the original theme, and it could change completely.
