Gradatorium

The 201 Gradatorium, like the 101 Gradatorium, is "the secret that has never been secret." In the Gradatorium we lay bare the criteria we use to evaluate the research essay, the meaning of those criteria, and their application in actual student work. Our purpose here is to enable you to use this knowledge to improve your own writing, and so to improve your grade in the course.

There are three distinct sections to the Gradatorium at your disposal. The first section looks at examples of the early work that will be done within the 201 course. The second looks at examples of the final paper. Finally, the last section follows one student in the course from the very first papers to the final paper.
