guidelines for readers

Remember, the text you read today is a DRAFT. There is plenty of opportunity for the writer to make changes and address the points you make today.

  • Is the central question clear?
  • Is there a clear development of an argument?
  • If not, what measures, in your view, can be taken to make the text clearer?

Note: When the writing tutors make the final grading in trimester six, the thesis and the final project are graded together (see criteria in handbook).

To help you make an assessment of the (draft) thesis specifically, here are the outcome criteria for essays that the students are encouraged to follow:

  • Intelligibly express your ideas, thoughts and reflections in written English 
  • Articulate in writing a clear direction of your graduate project by being able to identify complex and coherent questions, concepts and appropriate forms 
  • Clearly structure and analyse an argument 
  • Use relevant source material and references 
  • Research texts and practices and reflect upon them analytically 
  • Synthesize different forms of knowledge in a coherent, imaginative and distinctive manner 
  • Position ones own views within a broader context 
  • Recognize and perform the appropriate mode of address within a given context 
  • Engage in active dialogue about your written work with others

Note: the texts you read today may take the form of a series of stories, descriptions of work, or a diary of the process. Remember it is very possible to cover the above points using a variety of modes of address. It doesn't have to be an 'academic' text to meet the above criteria.

Your interpretation of how the text you read today meets those criteria is important here.
