Critique a Draft Essay Using the Criteria Your Examiner Will Apply

You wrote the essay. Now you need to know whether it answers the question, whether the argument holds, and whether the evidence is doing any actual work. This critiques it against the four criteria your examiner will use: argument, evidence, structure, analysis. Each gets a grade-band assessment and a specific suggestion. Paste the draft.

**Critique** the essay against the main examiner criteria:
1. Argument: Is there a clear thesis? Does the essay answer the actual question set?
2. Evidence: Are claims supported with relevant, specific evidence?
3. Structure: Does the argument flow logically from introduction to conclusion?
4. Analysis: Does the essay explain why evidence matters, or just present it?
For each criterion, give a grade-band indication (strong / satisfactory / needs work) and one specific suggestion.
