Criteria Feedback
- The student's investigation has a clear and sustained central idea, and the title and research question give the essay a strong conceptual direction.
- The student maintains a consistent link between Huxley’s dystopian world and the literary methods they use to explore it.
- The student's method is generally appropriate for the task, with close reference to the novel supported by relevant secondary material.
- The student's opening is a little broad, so the key terms could be defined more tightly from the start.
- The methodological choices are mostly implicit, especially where the student brings in Foucault and other sources.
- A narrower focus on a smaller set of techniques or episodes would make the line of inquiry even more precise.

- The student brings in secondary sources in a way that often supports their interpretation rather than distracting from it.
- Some of the critical terminology could be used more precisely, especially when describing character language and technique.
