Use each criterion as a checklist for revision. Strong drafts make the scoring evidence obvious, not implied.
Match your draft to the descriptors below to identify the smallest edits that can move you into a higher band.
Step 1
Define the setting, the people, and the anthropological idea you are observing before you write anything else.
Step 2
Explain why the follow-up method extends the observation and how it improves the quality of the fieldwork data.
Step 3
Keep the data tied to the key concept or area of inquiry so the writing stays analytical rather than descriptive.
Step 4
Discuss your position as a researcher, the limits of the method, and what the fieldwork process actually taught you.
The observation context is clear and specific.
The second method is justified, not just named.
Analysis stays connected to the key concept or area of inquiry.
Reflection covers researcher position, ethics, and what was learned.
State the anthropological concept in the opening paragraph and return to it throughout.
Use short fieldwork evidence notes before turning them into full analysis paragraphs.
Add one explicit reflection sentence at the end of every major section.
