Does the introduction lead to a thesis statement that makes a solid argument and answers “so what?” What do you think the thesis was? What is the proposed solution should be (if applicable)?

Questions to answer thoroughly and thoughtfully for each writer:
Is there a good 1-2 paragraph introduction to the topic being argued? What information is unclear or could use more information for an audience unfamiliar with the topic.
Does the introduction lead to a thesis statement that makes a solid argument and answers “so what?” What do you think the thesis was? What is the proposed solution should be (if applicable)?
Does the body of the essay make a logical progression? Does everything therein support the thesis? What can be improved?
Do the sources seem like good academic sources? Are the quotes introduced and explained in relation to the argument? What could be improved?
Is there a good conclusion that doesn’t just repeat the introduction but helps readers think about something interesting at the end?
Are there ways to simplify complicated sentences or words that would make the meaning clearer throughout the paper?
What is the best part of the paper? What is the most problematic?
