1. Mary Kate Lambert “No title was given”. Mary Kate’s paper was unfinished, however, she did provide a good topic sentence for the introduction paragraph. In the second paragraph she needs a much stronger topic sentence. Also, there were grammar errors such as incomplete sentences, capitalization errors, word usage errors, and to be verbs. Overall, I think that she is off to a good start and that her final paper would be better if she includes these suggestions. 2. Jourdan Green “The Literary Impact of Being Born vs. Captured into Slavery”. Jourdan’s paper was unfinished, however, the information she provided in the introduction and second paragraph was great. The grammar errors she had was one run-on sentence and I think if she rephrase
the sentence it would flow much better. I believe once she add more information about Equiano it could make her paper stronger. But, other than that I think that she have a strong introduction paragraph and her argument on Mary Prince is strong. 3. Ore Oluseye “Paper Three”. Ore’s paper was good but there were grammar errors such as heading errors, weak title, rephrase of sentences, word usage errors, misspelling of words, incomplete sentences, and to be verbs. Overall, I think that she could add another paragraph to tide everything together, but other than that I think that she is off to a good start. Also, I think that she can provide evidence from the text to support her argument. 4. Mariah Weinkauf she did not submit her paper by the deadline and I was unable to edit her paper to offer her feedback in the timeframe that was required. Part Two 1. Name of peers who edited your paper. What did you find most helpful about the assignment? Mary Kate Lambert is the only peer who edited my paper and what I found most helpful about the assignment was the comments she made regarding my paper. It helped me to better explain and clarify one of my arguments in my paper that Mary Kate suggested.
Both of the articles “Dancing with Professors” by Patricia Limerick and “Shitty First Drafts” by Anne Lamott resolve the issues faced by college students when writing papers. The first article, “Dancing with Professors,” explains why college professors expect more elaborate papers even though they assign dull and un-motivational reading to their students. On the other end of the writing spectrum, “Shitty First Drafts” explains how valuable the first draft is to students, and why students should not feel weary about writing them.
2. Your conclusion paragraph should be more detailed. Restate in just a few sentences the points that you made in your paper and what conclusions you have drawn from those points.
The essay is written in a very critical style where the reader will feel like they have been wast...
Proffesors Comments: You composed a fine paper, so most of my effort has been spent in suggesting style improvements. The opening is strong, the development logical and consistent, the examples well chosen.
2. Your first paragraph seems to be your first point instead of your introduction. Your first sentence also appears to be your thesis statement. Your introduction should incorporate all of the points of your paper. You are introducing all of them. So, lengthen your introduction and then for your thesis statement you need to list all of the points that you discuss. In his play, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Shakespeare clearly establishes the feelings of Theseus with respect to love, reason.
Mary Kate Smith is a name that many Mississippians remember from her high school days. Smith played soccer and football for the South Jones Braves during her high school days. Starting her career as a soccer star for the Braves, Smith decided to give football a chance after his junior year in high school.
Your paper could have been stronger if you had used quotes to back up your ideas.
In this essay, I attempted to combine two sources and analyze them each by itself first and then combine it at the end. I think I did a good job analyzing and interpreting what Ellen DeGeneres was saying in her article. This essay was more difficult than the other essays for me because it is hard to apply the examples and try to combine two different sources to make a compare and contrast paper make sense.
Edit the following passage. There are about 16 errors. Reduce the word count from 359 words to 320 words.
When it came time to meet with Dr. Amy Pardo for an individual meeting, we sat and mapped out the plan for the semester in English Composition II. Before enrolling into English Composition II, it was scared because it might have ended up being like English Composition I where the professor expressed that I did not write very well. After writing a paper for Dr. Pardo and receiving her critique back on it, she said the writing skills were excellent, but work needs to be done to a few things. During the individual meeting, we figured out work need to be done as far as grammar, punctuation, and structure, but the critical thinking and sentence formation are excellent. By evaluating the summary, rhetorical analysis, critique, and research paper, the strengths and weaknesses vary throughout all of the essays.
In the paper “The Price of Justice” the topic sentences are consistently inadequate and unclear. In order to have better developed paragraphs, the topic sentences need to be a solid, well thought out sentence that leads into the paragraph effectively. One way to improve the quality of a topic sentence is to ensure the paragraph follows and supports what the topic sentence is about. This can be done by creating a thorough outline of each paragraph and rereading each completed
The Body of the Paper: Your literature review is perfect. It looks proper, but you have some grammatical errors as below when proofreading:
The first thing I would look at is the structure of your essay. The paper feels like it jumps around a lot. There are several places where I think you could split a single paragraph into several, and add more information to both paragraphs. The first time I noticed this was on your first page in your second paragraph. I think it would be much stronger if you ended the second paragraph after you say “made it okay for women to be a part of that industry”. I think the second part about Lydia Thompson stands on its own, especially because it introduces a new topic with burlesque coming to America. I would spilt this paragraph again after “made for a wild spectacle”, because you go into talking about how theatre was predominantly male, and this feels like a whole new topic.
Coming into this class I was not sure what to expect. I knew this class was going to be a challenge for me seeing as writing was never one of my strengths, but I came to this class with a desire and determined mind to learn what a college professor expects from a well-written paper. I believe I have learned some very effective ways to express my thoughts on paper while drawing from other sources to enhance my argument.
I fixed the errors such as grammar and incomplete sentences. After that, I went to Success Center to let Donna, a tutor proofread my paper. Donna had taught me a lot on writing this year. For example, she taught me how to write the title of the essay, where in the paragraph to place the transition sentences, when to use the colon, semicolon, and which form of the verb to use for a certain noun. She also showed me how to use Word that I was not familiar with before. I am glad I came to MCC because we have free tutors. It must be tough to go to university without having a tutor. Although we have free tutors at MCC, I do not just sit there in the room and let them do the work for me. I tried to remember what they taught me and tried my best on writing because I want to be a good
