GENERAL COMMENTS
Instructor
Hi
You have a strong start in this working draft. You
understand MLA citation well, so not only have you set
up a strong Works Cited, but also you have chosen
some strong and credible resources. You also do well
with MLA in-text citations.
As your revise, begin with setting up a strong and
focused thesis. It should be a debatable claim, one that
has a clear stance with supporting points. It should be
something with opposing points of view.
Once you revise your thesis, you can set up stronger
topic sentences: your points. This will help with
organizing your paragraphs more. It will also help to
bring in some specific examples in each paragraph.

Hi
QM
QM
You have chosen a topic you're interested in for this
assignment, so you're off to a great start. I look
forward to reading this to see what your thesis is and how you
support with analysis, examples, and
evidence.
Comment 1 | Format
Your title reflects your main idea well. No need to bold for
MLA format.
Introduction tips | Coherence
· An effective introduction starts with an introductory
sentence about the subject, offers
the writer's main point, and reveals the organization of the
essay.
Does the introduction "grab" you as a reader or "hook" your
interest?
Does it lead naturally to the main point of the essay?

Is there a thesis that reveals the purpose of the essay? [Usually,
the thesis appears at the end of an
introduction, but sometimes it appears later in the paper or it
may be implied rather than explicit; we
should be sensitive to well-written essays that diverge from the
norm.]
What is the purpose? To explain something? To argue an
intellectual position? To argue for a
proposal? To tell a story? Other?
Additional Comment
What intriguing hook could you offer to interest your readers?
Using your resources, what stories,
statistics, or insights could you bring in?
Research Essay Thesis | Thesis
Remember the thesis statement must have an arguable claim,
and ideally, you will include all
evidential points (if you have more than approximately five
subtopics, considering using umbrella
terms to avoid a thesis statement that is too wordy).
An argument-based research paper makes a claim about a topic
and justifies this claim with specific
evidence. The claim is your stance or side on the issue. The
goal of the argumentative paper is to
convince the audience that the claim is true based on the
evidence provided. This paper can also
include a counter-argument/refutation section to strengthen
supporting discussions. An example of
an argumentative thesis statement is as follows: "High school
graduates should be required to take a
year off to pursue community service projects before entering

college in order to improve their
maturity, global awareness, and social and emotional
development; despite some professors’ fear of
potential loss of academic momentum, a gap year, in fact, can
help a student determine a course of
study, helping to reduce unnecessary courses

Instead of announcing what the topic is, how can you offer a
strong stance along with three main
points?

Comment 3 | Support & Dev
What specific examples can you offer?
C/S | Punctuation
Comma splice:

A sentence must have both a subject and a main verb in order to
be complete, but it cannot have
more than one subject or main verb. A comma splice is a variety
of run-on sentence that occurs
when two complete sentences, each with its own subject and
verb, are joined mistakenly by a
comma. There are generally three methods of correcting this
problem: 1) Replace the comma with a
stronger mark of punctuation such as a period or semicolon, 2)
use a coordinating conjunction
("and," "but," "or," "nor") to join the two constructions, or 3)
make one of the two sentences a
dependent construction by linking it to the other with a
subordinating conjunction ("if," "when," "so
that," "although," "because") or relative pronoun ("that,"
"which," "who," "whom," "whose").
Comment 4 | Research/MLA
Nice work with your citation. Just take out the comma.
Awk. | Language
Awkward:
The expression or construction is cumbersome or difficult to
read. Consider rewriting.
Missing "," | Punctuation
Missing comma:
Though it may not always be grammatically necessary, a comma
can often help to prevent a
misreading. When a sentence opens with an introductory
element (a phrase, clause or word that is
logically related to another phrase or clause in the same
sentence), it is a great help to your reader
to place a comma after that introductory element. Such phrases
will often begin with words like

"because," "while" or "although," as in the following example:
"While everyone was fighting, the bear
wandered away." As you can see, without the comma, the
sentence would be confusing.

Capitalization of words | Punctuation
If you have a question about whether a specific word should be
capitalized that doesn't fit under one
of these rules, try checking a dictionary to see if the word is
capitalized there. Here is a link to offer

No need for a comma.

Paragraph Development | Support & Dev
To be as effective as possible, a paragraph should contain each
of the following: Unity,
Coherence, A Topic Sentence, and Adequate Development. As
you will see, all of these
traits overlap. Using and adapting them to your individual
purposes will help you construct effective
paragraphs.
Additional Comment
Begin each paragraph with a strong and focused point, one that
defends your thesis. Within each
paragraph, focus on how to support that point with specific
examples. Also, offer at least a couple
pieces of evidence from your resources and follow up by
clarifying that information in your own voice
of analysis.
This is a good point.
What specific examples can you offer for support?
Nice work with your citation. Just take out the comma.
Vague | Language
Unclear:
When making a point in one of your body paragraphs, one of the
most common mistakes is to not
offer enough details. A paragraph without much detail will seem
vague and sketchy. A paper is

always strengthened when your claims are as specific as
possible, The more detailed evidence you
offer, the more reference points your reader will have.
Remember that you are communicating your
argument to a reader who has only your description to go by.
Someone who reads your essay will
not automatically know what you mean to express, so you have
to supply details, to show the reader
what you mean, not just tell him or her.
This is a good start to an example, but isn't specific yet. What
specific examples can you offer?

Tense Shift | Grammar
Tense Shift:
Verb tenses should be consistent throughout your writing in
order to make it clear when an action
takes place. You will confuse your readers by switching from
one tense to another within the same
sentence or paragraph. When discussing literature or a
published source document of some kind,
readers expect you to use the present tense, even though the
source you're writing about may have
been written many years ago. When writing an essay about
historical events, however, readers
generally expect that you use the past tense.Tense Shift
You do well with your citation. Just take out the comma.

Problem in Parallel Form:
Coordinate ideas should be expressed in parallel form. All

Thesis, central idea, audience, purpose, digressions
Thesis or potential thesis is neither present in any portion of the
essay, nor is it implied in
any manner. Thesis may be present but incorrect for the
assignment’s
objectives/approach. Thesis may be present but the submission
overall fails to meet most
assignment objectives (such as the essay is only a paragraph)
that determining the thesis’
viability is problematic.
Lacks an identifiable thesis. Limited or no awareness of
audience and purpose. Readers
cannot discern the essay’s central idea.
Thesis was attempted but unclear and/or inconsistently
addressed. Reveals limited
awareness of audience and purpose. Central idea either lacking
or inconsistently
addressed.
Thesis is identifiable, but perhaps too narrow, too broad, or
otherwise problematic.
Awareness of audience may be adequate but inconsistent.
Central idea is perhaps too
general and supported by irrelevant examples.
Thesis is established and is consistently addressed throughout
most of the paper.
Awareness of audience is sufficient. Central idea is clear and
maintained in most of the
essay.

Thesis is clearly established and maintained throughout the
entire paper. Paper
demonstrates a sophisticated awareness of audience and
purpose. Central idea/focus
maintained throughout.
3 / 5
Thesis support, thesis development, use of examples, logic, and
reason
Support is more than lacking, such that it is insufficient for
review (assignment does not
meet length requirements). Body paragraphs may be very
limited in original material for
evaluation due to too much borrowed information and a
problematic similarity report which
qualifies the paper for an account hold and “similarity match:
low” QuickMark.
Lacks an identifiable thesis. Limited or no awareness of
audience and purpose. Readers
cannot discern the essay’s central idea. No support of thesis
with relevant facts,
examples, reasons, or evidence. No topic development. Little-
to-no argument is present.
Topic development is flawed or non-existent. The body
paragraphs have a poor mix of
cited quotes, paraphrases, and summaries.
Support is minimal, logically flawed, and/or inaccurate. At least
two arguments are
present, but counterargument and refutation may be weak or
missing. Topic development
may have been attempted, but does not form conclusions and/or
fails to exhibit clear

reasoning. The body paragraphs have an insufficient mix of
cited quotes, paraphrases,
and summaries.
More support is needed. Some examples may be vague. More

supporting reasons or evidence. Some irrelevant support may be
present, but most
evidence supports thesis. The body paragraphs have an adequate
mix of cited quotes,

Support is sufficient but perhaps flawed in some way. At least
three strong arguments, a
counterargument, and a refutation are present. Examples are
sufficient. Thesis is
supported and developed in most paragraphs. The body
paragraphs have a sufficient mix
of cited quotes, paraphrases, and summaries.
Essay completely supports the thesis with logical arrangement
of evidence. At least three
strong arguments, a counterargument, and a refutation are
present. All assertions are
supported and relate to thesis. The body paragraphs have an
exceptional mix of cited
quotes, paraphrases, and summaries.

sentences
Two or more major organizational elements are missing, such as
an introduction and
conclusion. Essay be one long paragraph with no discernible

separation of ideas.
No clear introduction, body, or conclusion. Little-to-no
transitions. Demonstrates little-to-no
understanding of organization. Many sentences within
paragraphs do not relate to each
other and/or the paragraph’s topic. May contain no discernible
topic sentences.
Introduction, body, and conclusion attempted but problematic.
Few transitions. Perhaps
numerous digressions. Mostly missing or problematic topic
sentences. Demonstrates little
understanding of organization.
Identifiable introduction, body, and conclusion; yet one
significant weakness is present:
undeveloped introduction, undeveloped conclusion, illogical
paragraph order. Adequate
transitions, perhaps some digressions. Some paragraphs may
lack clear topic sentences.
Demonstrates basic understanding of organization.
Clear introduction, body, and conclusion although
improvements could be made. Most
paragraphs have clear topic sentences. Essay establishes a clear
plan of development.
Transitions are clear throughout most of the paper.
Demonstrates good understanding of
organization.
Clear and effective introduction, body, and conclusion:
Introduction establishes the
essay’s main idea, and conclusion summarizes thesis and main
ideas without merely
copying and pasting from the introduction. Clear and effective

transitions are present
throughout the paper. Demonstrates excellent understanding of
organization.
