Research Workshop

1) What is the paper's thesis? Restate it in your own words.

2) Give at least two suggestions for additional information that would be beneficial in the introduction, such as context for the research issue. Think Who What Where When Why and How.

3) Does the writer provide three to four outside sources? Are these sources introduced and contextualized in the paper? Are they used frequently enough? Make any suggestions for improvement.

4) Are there vivid examples in the paper? Where would more examples or details be beneficial?

5) Is the MLA style/formatting correct? Make any suggestions for improvement.

6) Does the writer incorporate their quotations into the paper, with necessary transition words and subsequent  analysis, or do they just plop the quotations?

7) Does the writer make any claims that are not backed up by research? What are they?

8) Do the sources provided seem reliable, accurate, and on topic? Note any sources that seem slightly off topic.

9) Is the essay well-organized? Make suggestions for improvement.
