Criteria Feedback
- The student communicates a recognisable and relevant literary topic centred on Elizabeth Bennet, gender inequality, and class hierarchy.
- The student's research question is stated clearly enough to guide the investigation and stays connected to the essay overall.
- The student shows some purposeful selection of historical and literary methods to support the inquiry.
- The question is still quite broad, so the investigation sometimes spreads across too many ideas at once.
- Several sections move away from Elizabeth as the central focus, which weakens precision.
- The method would be stronger if the student explained more clearly how they selected and used their sources and close-reading approach.

Criteria Feedback
- The student uses relevant quotations from the novel to anchor their discussion in the primary text.
- The student shows solid knowledge of the novel’s central concerns, including entailment, marriage, reputation, and class prejudice.
- The student's use of terminology such as irony, satire, free indirect discourse, and patriarchy is generally appropriate and helpful.
- Some contextual and source-based claims are accepted too broadly and need more careful qualification.
- At times, quotations are followed by summary or thematic comment rather than detailed interpretation of Austen’s language and narrative method.
- A few terms and concepts need more technical precision, especially when the student discusses narrative voice and perspective.
