Analysis might include one or more of the following: exploring a significant tension, considering multiple perspectives, considering implications and\/or assumptions in a text or idea, applying a text or theory as a lens, and\/or asking questions that help the writer understand his or her topic more fully. Writer uses evidence to set up his\/her own ideas\/claims\/questions and maintains a conversation with the sources, instead of just dropping quotes, facts, or expert opinions without commentary or analysis. Writer demonstrates willingness to consider and engage alternate viewpoints (if appropriate).<\/div>\n<div style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">\n<table style=\"margin-left: -1px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">\n<tbody style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">\n<tr style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">\n<td style=\"padding: 7px 10px; font-weight: bold; font-size: 0.85em; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 5px 0px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">\n<div style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">\n<div style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">30<\/span><span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">&nbsp;<\/span>pts<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">Full Marks<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin: 0.25rem 0px; font-weight: normal; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 7px 10px; font-weight: bold; font-size: 0.85em; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 5px 0px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">\n<div style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">\n<div style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">0<\/span><span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">&nbsp;<\/span>pts<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">No Marks<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin: 0.25rem 0px; font-weight: normal; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 7px 10px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">\n<div style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">30<\/span><span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">&nbsp;<\/span>pts<br style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><\/span><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">\n<td style=\"padding: 7px 10px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">\n<div style=\"font-size: 0.85rem; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">\n<div style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><span style=\"margin: -1px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">This criterion is linked to a Learning Outcome<\/span><\/span><span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">Development &amp; Complexity<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"margin: 0.25rem 0px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">Writer engages in sustained analysis (answering questions like \u201chow,\u201d \u201cwhy,\u201d and \u201cso what?\u201d) as claims and evidence are discussed. Writer clarifies what is at stake in the discussion or why an issue\/idea matters (the implications and consequences of the essay\u2019s main claim or question).

Writer\u2019s conclusion culminates the discussion appropriately by pursuing implications or answers to \u201cso what?\u201d The ending avoids unnecessary repetition and\/or summary of the paper, and leaves readers still thinking.<\/div>\n<div style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">\n<table style=\"margin-left: -1px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">\n<tbody style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">\n<tr style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">\n<td style=\"padding: 7px 10px; font-weight: bold; font-size: 0.85em; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 5px 0px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">\n<div style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">\n<div style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">30<\/span><span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">&nbsp;<\/span>pts<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">Full Marks<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin: 0.25rem 0px; font-weight: normal; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 7px 10px; font-weight: bold; font-size: 0.85em; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 5px 0px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">\n<div style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">\n<div style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">0<\/span><span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">&nbsp;<\/span>pts<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">No Marks<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin: 0.25rem 0px; font-weight: normal; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 7px 10px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">\n<div style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">30<\/span><span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">&nbsp;<\/span>pts<br style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><\/span><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">\n<td style=\"padding: 7px 10px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">\n<div style=\"font-size: 0.85rem; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">\n<div style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><span style=\"margin: -1px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">This criterion is linked to a Learning Outcome<\/span><\/span><span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">Expression &amp; Conventions<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"margin: 0.25rem 0px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">Writer\u2019s essay shows strong command of the conventions of Standard Written English.
