1. Lack of argument
Argument is important. Consequently, a lack of argument or weaknesses in the arguments undermine your work. To avoid this:
• Do not present lists of unconnected points as if they were an argument.
• Consider the arguments (including counter-arguments) of others.
• Ensure you critically examine the evidence.
• Present a well-argued conclusion.

2. Lack of relevance
You must answer the questions asked. Therefore, you should carefully select material and focus on the questions as set. Often you will need to adapt and consider material within the context of your argument. Remember that the original author’s purpose was probably not the same as yours. To avoid common faults concerning lack of relevance:
• Be sure you answer the question.
• Keep to the point.
• Do not introduce irrelevant or unsubstantiated statements.
