Criteria Feedback
You stated a focused, historically relevant question that is clearly investigable.
You chose two relevant and contrasting sources that speak directly to the dispute.
You evaluated both sources with attention to origin, purpose, and content.
You showed awareness of each source’s value and limitations rather than simply describing them.
Some evaluative claims rely too much on reputation or institutional status.
A few criticisms would be stronger if they were supported with more precise evidence from the sources themselves.
The distinction between a source reporting findings and a source proving a historical claim needs to be sharper in places.

Criteria Feedback
Your investigation is clearly structured and easy to follow.
You move beyond narration by testing claims through motive, capacity, bias, and evidential strength.
You engage with more than one perspective and reach a reasoned conclusion that fits the evidence you discuss.
You use a reasonably wide range of evidence types, including scholarly work, reports, testimony, and investigations.
Some paragraphs repeat the same general point about the lack of forensic proof or possible bias.
At times you describe a source as questionable without fully explaining the specific methodological reason.
The argument would be stronger if you compared the evidential weight of the claims more directly and ranked the strongest evidence.
