This essay will be marked according to:

Thesis statement
Is there a clear statement of the argument? Is the argument strong rather than wishy-washy? Don’t surprise the reader at any point in the essay ? the reader should be told your argument and a brief summary of how the argument will unfold.

Argument
Clarity, logical development, depth, success in dealing with opposing positions. You need to imagine that you are trying to persuade a reader with the opposite view. To distinguish between argument and description, ask yourself whether the reader would be just as well off reading your sources themselves ? are you just describing what other people say, or are you constructing your own perspective? I am interested in your position and how you support it and defend it from alternative positions.
