On the whole the writing is well organized, reasoning is specific and appropriate. B-level work still indicates a solid understanding of the important issues. Basic synthesis and analysis of the studied material is evident. Points are well illustrated. All of the assignments were completed on time with average quality.

Research is cursory aiming only at obvious sources, understanding of these sources shows little evidence of knowledge beyond the class lectures and textbooks. The writing is reasonably well organized but some transitions are lacking. As such it provides only the most basic sense of logical completeness but it is unclear in places and the writer has only basic control over the way the presuppositions and arguments are structured and communicated. C-level work still indicates a basic understanding of the important issues but do not go beyond basic absorption of the class lectures and textbook. Points are illustrated, but the illustrations are only basic.
