and perception.
Tips: The 7 paper demonstrates a more consistent command of college-level writing than does

sketchy analysis. It is often sidetracked by summary, and the references may be limited or
simplistic. It often loses focus and digresses from the topic.

the prompt and/or the passage. It may also indicate severe writing problems.
