Criteria for Evaluation
Argument – The paper makes a clear statement on a question of historical interpretation. Logic used to prove the validity of the argument is persuasive. Describing events or explaining the obvious do not make a good argument. Remember that the best arguments start with a question that can be answered equally well in more than one way.
Sources – Evidence of effort in research. An even mix of books, academic articles, and web resources used to support argument. Since documents from the era in question are more persuasive than a present day historian’s opinion, most of the paper should be based on a thorough analysis of PRIMARY sources. As for the number of sources, one per page of the final paper is a good rule of thumb. Our course readings, especially the Documentary Collection will be your first stop for sources. For scholarly articles, I recommend using the JSTOR database available through our library at http://www.linfield.edu/linfield-libraries.html
Mechanics – Spelling, grammar, punctuation, and Chicago-style footnotes and bibliography are correct. The paper has a clear structure with a thesis statement, topic sentences for each paragraph, and smooth transitions that link one idea to the next, and a conclusion.
Style – Paper is a pleasure to read with a provocative topic related to the main themes of this course, elegant choice of words, and a vigorous writing style appropriate to a formal academic setting.
