1) Identify the thesis.

2) Determine if there is sufficient evidence.

3) Determine if there is sufficient analysis of the evidence.
goes with evidence
helps prove thesis
logical

4) Indicate where the language is clear and where it is not clear.

5) If all of these areas are sufficient, can you still find a way to
help the writer make the paper better?
Can the evidence be more abundant?
Can the analysis be more critical?
Is the conclusion more interesting than the introduction?
If so, does the thesis need to change?
Can the writing be not just clear but also eloquent?
