the question that helped me the most during our peer reviews was

Where is your thesis?
Well I had though I had a thesis, and when I looked at my paper I saw one. Yet, as I looked closer I could see my thesis was very plain and generic. If my thesis couldn't stand out to two people how is it going to stand out to any one who reads my paper. This showed me I needed to elaborate and develop a more direct clear cut thesis to my audience. A thesis is what makes a analysis and synthesis paper, so I need to work on mine.
