Compare High-Scoring vs. Flawed Latin RQs
Below are examples of evaluated RQs from recent Latin IAs. Review the strengths and weaknesses to understand the scoring criteria, and feel free to evaluate your own RQ using the form above.
How does Latin affect things?
Strengths:
Clear focus on Latin as the subject
Weaknesses:
Specify the scope to limit the topic (e.g., limit to a particular author or period). Example: replace 'How does Latin affect things?' with 'How does Latin rhetoric in Cicero influence Roman political discourse in the late Republic?'
Quomodo Vergilius in Aeneide, liber II (v. 1–200), per lectionem dictionis et imaginem Aeneae pietatem construat et quae figurae retoricae huic effectui conferant?
Strengths:
Clear reference to a specific Latin text and passage.
Weaknesses:
Quam frequenter et in quibus contextibus Caesar in De Bello Gallico, liber I (capitula 1–20), utitur ablativo absolutō ad exprimendam temporis aut causalitatis relationem, secundum corpus exemplarium latinum?
Strengths:
Clear focus on a specific Latin author and text context (Caesar, De Bello Gallico, Lib I, capitula 1–20).
Weaknesses:
What are the effects of Latin on society?
Strengths:
Clear overall focus on impact (uses 'effects' to signal analysis).
Weaknesses:
Specify a concrete scope to make the project manageable (e.g., limit to a defined period and place). Example improvement: change to "What were the social effects of Latin as a language of administration in Rome between 100 BCE and 200 CE?"
