Hey Jake, just one area I got picked up in last source analysis exam, what scale did you use of the usefulness of sources eg. highly useful moderately useful. i think off memory i put somewhat useful and that was too vague, cheers!

I definitely think using words like 'moderately' and 'very' is important, but you need to continue the sentence. 'This source is moderately useful' doesn't really tell you very much. Instead, look to statements like 'Source F is moderately useful for historians interested in.... but limited by....'. Honestly, though, I don't have much more specific advice on this issue!
