Essays
Thesis, argument, counter-argument: sources found and each quotation checked against the page it came from. The argument and every sentence of it are yours.

Essay rubrics differ by subject, but most mark the same core qualities.
THESISA clear, arguable, specific claim that answers the prompt.
STRUCTUREEach paragraph advances the thesis, with transitions that show how.
EVIDENCEQuotations and data introduced, cited and analysed, not just dropped in.
ENGAGEMENTCounter-arguments taken seriously and answered.
STYLEClear academic prose in your own voice.
CONVENTIONSCorrect citation, word count and formatting.
FIG 3COMMON MISTAKES
Where marks are usually lost, and how MoreMind helps.
What MoreMind can catch, and what it leaves to you.
MISTAKE 01
A thesis that states a fact or a topic
MoreMind asks whether someone could reasonably disagree with your thesis. If not, you sharpen it.
MISTAKE 02
Quotation dumping
Paragraphs where quotations outweigh your own analysis are flagged for you to revise.
MISTAKE 03
Misquoting or citing the wrong page
Each quotation is checked against the source text and page before it's cited.
MISTAKE 04
Drifting away from the prompt
The prompt stays pinned beside your outline, so you can check every paragraph against it.
FIG 4WORKFLOW
How an essay comes together.

FIG 5EXAMPLE
Raw notes to a structured outline.
Scattered reading notes become an outline with a slot for each claim, its evidence and your analysis. The thesis is taken from your own note, for you to sharpen; the analysis slots stay empty until you write them.
