- Research question is clearly and prominently stated with a precise time frame and balanced scope.
- Selection of two relevant and contrasting sources is well justified in relation to the research question.
- Detailed evaluation of origin, purpose, content, value and limitation moves beyond description.
- Minor phrasing issues and occasional repetition limit the absolute precision of the question.
- Analysis lacks discussion of the thesis author’s credentials and publication context.
- Evaluation remains U.S.-centric; absence of Soviet archival perspective reduces balance.
- Bibliography formatting is inconsistent and needs standardization.

- Investigation is logically structured with clear headings and coherent flow from context to synthesis.
- Contains critical analysis supported by evidence from multiple sources, including contrasting official and academic perspectives.
- Effective use of evidence (e.g., visitor statistics, quotations) to substantiate key arguments.
- Conclusion offers a reasoned evaluation of perspectives consistent with the evidence presented.
- Table of Contents entries and citation formatting are inconsistent, affecting navigation and academic convention adherence.
- Analysis occasionally slips into description; integration of some evidence (e.g., statistics) is uneven.
- Depth of evaluation of Soviet perspectives is limited, acknowledged as a gap rather than analysed.
- Quotations often lack precise page references and topic sentences could better distinguish analysis from narrative.
