Conclusion_______________________________
Thesis: Interesting, arguable, incisive; sufficiently limited in scope; stated early on and present throughout
Structure:                        Logical, progressive (not just a list), supple (invites complications, consideration of counterarguments), with strong and obvious links between points; coherent, well-organized paragraphs
Evidence:  Sufficient, appropriate, and well-chosen; presented in a readable and understandable way
Analysis:     Insightful and fresh; more than summary or paraphrase; shows how evidence supports thesis; may well dwell in depth on one or two key examples
Sources:     Well-chosen; deployed in a range of ways (to motivate the argument, provide keyterms, and so on); quotes and cited correctly
Style:           Clear and conversational yet sophisticated; diction
