The student clearly stated an appropriate and specific question for the historical investigation, focusing on the relationship between US military strategy and the Cuban Missile Crisis during a defined time period. The question has a clearly defined scope, including relevant dates, significant figures, and historical events. The student chose appropriate and relevant sources, including a primary memoir and a secondary analysis, and clearly explained their relevance to the investigation. Additionally, the student effectively identified the nature of the sources, distinguishing between primary and secondary. However, the student did not provide a precise analysis and evaluation of the values and limitations of the origins and purposes of the sources, which needed improvement for a more comprehensive understanding.
