- You use a varied set of sources to build context and support your argument.
- Your terminology is mostly accurate and the key concepts are defined in a useful way.
- You show an informed understanding of surveillance, autonomy, and civil liberties.
- Some evidence is applied too generally and does not always directly support the Hong Kong claim being made.
- At times you treat CCTV, smart-city infrastructure, and facial recognition as if they were interchangeable.
