Thesis Statement

What is the thesis statement? Is this a clear statement? Is the topic focused enough? Is the person making an argument or just making a general statement or asking a question? Can this statement be supported sufficiently in a 8-10 page paper?
 
 
 
 
 

Outline Structure

Is the outline presented in proper format, as exemplified on pge 279 of the WRP Handbook? Is there proper balance between sections?  Do any parts seem unrelated to the main argument?  Explain.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Development

Are ideas presented in specific detail, using complete sentences throughout the outline?  Does the author use any direct quotes?
