An essay meriting an A demonstrates excellence in all areas.

• Thesis: The essay possesses a clear, insightful, analytical thesis that takes a position, advances an argument, and interprets events or experiences in history.
• Argumentation and Organization: The argument is unified, coherent, complex and nuanced.  The arguments/interpretations set forth by the author are supported by evidence (cited sources).  The argument/interpretation supports the thesis logically from paragraph to paragraph throughout the written assignment.
• Evidence: The writer uses materials that are appropriate to the thesis and topic.  Sources are properly cited in Chicago Manual format.
• Style: The paragraphs and parts of the paper are well organized and the paper contains an appropriate introduction and conclusion, both of which frame the argument/interpretation in the body of the paper.  Secondary sources in research papers are recent and demonstrate collection of evidence through library referencing (as opposed to solely internet research).
• Mechanics: The paper contains no serious errors of diction, grammar or punctuation, nor any errors in the requirements of the guides for citations.  There is a good variety of quotations and paraphrasing, properly cited. The paper shows evidence of careful editing.
