Spend less time sorting sources. More time on research.

Searched 3 agreed databases and found 64 relevant papers

Kept 23 peer-reviewed papers and grouped them into 4 themes by method

Three gaps in the literature:

1. Few studies outside STEM courses
2. Almost no data beyond one semester
3. Perception is measured, learning outcomes rarely

Possible direction: a two-semester study in humanities courses.

Read all 32 drafts and your 4-part rubric

Marked each draft against the rubric and grouped issues into 3 types

The most common issues:

1. 19 essays: unclear thesis in paragraph one
2. 14 essays: evidence without explanation
3. 9 essays: weak transitions

Teach a 15-minute lesson on thesis statements first, then use the 3 practice exercises.
