They should go from broad to narrow, but some just list a dozen problems without ever focusing.

It'll make the week more interesting.

Include instructions on how. They'll need it for feedback, video upload.

They frequently have multiple topic sentences in one paragraph, which confuses the arguments. Teach this to them, and assess it.

Raise the bar on evaluation quality.

I don't really have time to give feedback on everything, but we probably should. It's a chance for them to learn, and a more equitable way for them to get better at writing. Perhaps instead of getting feedback from TA and I, perhaps just TA, or just force crowdsourcing to peers, or schedule when drafts are due so TA can budget time.

Include more strict rules about citation format, not citing websites, and citing primary sources.

Must describe where it comes from, who creates it, what expertise they need to have.
