Criteria Feedback
- The student communicates a historically appropriate and meaningful line of inquiry.
- The student's research question is comparative and clearly tries to make a judgement rather than just describe a topic.
- The student uses a reasonably broad range of sources, including primary material that fits the topic well.
- The student's scope is still wider than necessary, especially with phrases like 'throughout his pilgrimages' and 'in the late 1900s'.
- The method would be stronger if the student explained more clearly how they would judge 'most significant'.
- Some sources are only indirectly connected to the specific Polish case.
