The student outlines the topic of their study at the beginning of the essay, making its aim clear to the reader, by including the topic ('Gender and Sexuality in the Weimar Republic') and the research question ('To what extent were queer people liberated in Weimar Germany, 1919-1933'). The topic covered by the essay is meaningful and regards the human past, providing insights into historical LGBTQ+ rights movements and contemporary relevance. The proposed research question is stated as a clear question with an appropriate question tag and a question mark at the end, and the scope of the research question is appropriate to the availability of resources, time, and the word limit. However, the essay lacks a clear context of the topic and historical background in the introduction, which is vital for setting the stage for the reader. Nevertheless, the significance of pursuing the given topic is explained at the beginning of the essay. The essay presents an appropriate range of sources that are relevant to the topic, incorporating both primary and secondary sources, which are sufficient for the student to develop a supported investigation and a relevant conclusion to the research question.
