Essay 1 Lecture 2: Criteria, Applying Criteria, and an Evaluation as Thesis Statement
December 19th, 2007
A “good” thesis: Pizza Hut is a perfect pizza parlor because of its clean environment, its fast and friendly service, and its ample topping choices.
See how the evaluation is stated and the criteria used to make that evaluation? This is definitely an effective thesis. However, you don’t have to include the criteria you used if you don’t want to. What matters to the thesis in this essay is the evaluation.

I have used criteria in my “real world” very recently in choosing a car. The vehicle I needed to purchase had to be affordable, have good gas mileage and be low maintenance. After careful study of the above and review of my tight budget, I talked with several owners of various vehicles and decided on a Pontiac Vibe, which I purchased for $19,000, with an 80,000 mile all-inclusive warranty and a gas mileage of 35 mpg. Much study online and with car dealers was undertaken before making this decision.
