I will not have time to give detailed feedback and grammar-based corrections like I usually do. I will read the essay and give feedback on structure, content and sentences.
At this point in the class, you have enough feedback from me to know where you are strong and where you need to develop. Consult the quizzes and tests you have already completed over the course of the term.
