1. Focus
Does the writer establish and maintain a clear purpose
that is appropriate for the intended reader and topic? Does the author
explicitly state his/her objective or thesis about a specific topic near
the beginning of the paper? Does the writer provide information and details
that are important to the topic and relevant to the focus? Does the author
cite literature relevant to the thesis? Does the conclusion summarize
findings from the literature and provide insight in relation to the
objective of the paper?
First summarize what you perceived as the thesis so that
the writer can see whether readers can discern the controlling point of the
paper. Then make specific comments about what trouble you had in
understanding the focus of the paper. Be sure to give specific advice for
how to make the focus more effective and praise-oriented comments about
strengths that made the writing good.
