Criteria Feedback
- You chose a clear, focused, and historically workable research question that stays anchored to a specific policy, place, period, and argument.
- Your two sources are highly relevant and complementary, allowing you to compare official intent with scholarly interpretation and outcomes.
- You evaluated both sources in a detailed way, discussing origin, purpose, content, value, and limitations rather than simply describing them.
- The key term “socio-political control” could have been defined more precisely so the reader knows exactly how you will judge it.
- At points, the limitations are a little broad, especially where you could separate what a source shows directly from what it cannot prove.
- Some evaluation claims would be even stronger if tied more tightly to specific wording or evidence from the sources themselves.

Criteria Feedback
- Your investigation maintains a clear overall line of argument and stays focused on whether collectivization functioned as socio-political control in Ukraine.
- You use a strong range of evidence, including primary documents, testimony, and historians with different interpretations, which gives your argument breadth.
- You show genuine awareness of different historical perspectives and make a reasoned judgement that connects economic motives with increasingly political implementation.
- Your work is generally well organized, moving from context to evidence, then to historiography and conclusion in a coherent sequence.
- Some claims are more definite than the evidence fully supports, so at times the analysis becomes stronger in assertion than in substantiation.
- A few pieces of evidence would benefit from more precise explanation of how they prove the point you are making, rather than assuming the link is already clear.
- Your conclusion sometimes overstates intentionality or causation, so it would be stronger if it stayed slightly closer to what the evidence directly demonstrates.
- There are moments of repetition and occasional awkward phrasing that reduce the smoothness of the argument.
