1. Is there a clear point of view? (position)
Yes it is clear that Rachel does not like the drastic increase in college tuition.

2. Does the Op-Ed state the problem and solution simply?
There is a relatively simple solution (continueing to live at home) but the issue is too complex to have a one-answer, easy solution.

3. Does the piece address the counter arguments?
I did not notice a counter arguement, maybe add why colleges need to raise the cost of tuition.

4. Is the Op-Ed interesting?
Yes it was, and it was definately something that nearly everyone in the school can relate to and is concerned about.

5. Are the paragraphs organized logically?
I would have a more definate intro and conclusion, four paragraphs instead of the two.

6. Does each paragraph develop an idea to support the thesis?
Yes they do, you address both the financial increase of college tuition, as well as possible solutions.

7. Is the writing clear?
Yes, both the idea you are potraying and the actual writing was very easy to understand and learn from.
