  2. About the cogency, from 0 to 39 percent, the reader will be unbelievable for the argument. From 40 to 49 percent, the reader may get some good argument, but it is weakness and unbelievable. From 50 to 59 percent, the reader will get most believable argument, but they may also get some weakness. From 60 to 69 percent, the reader will get all the argument which is believable, and there are not any weakness. From 70 to 100 percent, that mean the reader will get all the believable argument and all of them have the detials to let the readers trust it.

  7. For this 6 Essay Marking Points,after my deliberation,it can be summarized into a word"RACCSS",viz,relevance;accuracy;cogency;coherence;structure;source material.1.Relevance which means to the point,juste-milieu,no intimist and personal emotion.It is a conventionality in academic essaies,(actually i think it sometimes rationalistic).2.accuracy means not just correct but exactitude,also means the proficient utilization of accurate vocabularies & sentences & terminologies.3.Cogency,in my opinion it means to persuade others let them to agree & convince your opinion using rational demonstrations & evidences.4.coherence,in one word,logic,the content must rigour & methodic,could make sense and convincing.5.In terms of structure,i think it closely related to the coherence,incompact structure cannot make the essay methodical ,consistent & cogent.The structure should be formal and internal logic.LOGIC.6.Source material means no plagiarism,no copy,no Wikipedia.The library is our unparalleled choice.
