- The student's song pairings are relevant and give the investigation a recognizable thematic structure.
- The student maintains a consistent line of discussion across the body of the essay.
- The student's research question is too broad for the evidence they use and should be narrowed to the specific artist and texts under discussion.
- The method needs a clearer explanation of how the student selected and analysed the lyrics.
- The framing sometimes shifts between Eminem specifically and hip-hop generally, which reduces precision.
