A.3Methodology selection and justification
Good
Criteria Feedback
- You communicate a clear and appropriately framed World Studies topic from the start.
- Your research question is evaluative and geographically focused on Germany.
- You selected a generally suitable secondary-research approach and justified using both Chemistry and Economics lenses.
- You show awareness of the limits of your evidence base and attempt to define a workable scope.
- The question is still broader than the evidence can fully support, especially in relation to the full pharmaceutical sector.
- Your methodology would be stronger if you explained a more explicit framework for comparing studies and judging source quality.
- Some of the scope boundaries are acknowledged but not enforced consistently in the essay.

Criteria Feedback
- You show clear knowledge of PHWE, solvent properties, and relevant environmental and industrial context.
- You use a wide range of subject terminology accurately enough to support the argument.
- Your source base is mostly relevant and includes credible academic and regulatory material.
- You make several effective connections between chemistry and economics rather than treating them as separate summaries.
- Some chemical claims are overgeneralized, especially when evidence from botanical extraction is applied to pharmaceuticals more broadly.
- A few terms and mechanisms are not always used with full precision.
- Some supporting sources are less authoritative or not tightly matched to the claims being made.
- Your conceptual control is good overall, but not yet consistently deep or fully integrated.
