Essay #2 revisions:
are only available for essays which originally met the length requirement and were submitted on time. Essays submitted during the grace period are considered on time.
are not mandatory. If you are happy with your original score or don’t have time to revise, you do not have to.
are flexible. You can revise as much or as little of your essay as you want to. (I recommend focusing on items you scored AE or below on.)
Please do not respond to all of my comments in your document. The document should appear “clean” when submitted, meaning all of my comments should be resolved before submitting your revision.
provide me clear directions. In order for me to review your revision, please leave me a DETAILED NOTE stating EXACTLY which areas on the scoresheet you want me to review. Leave me this note in the comment box on the submission page. Please use the language of the scoresheet to tell me EXACTLY which items under which categories on the scoresheet you hope to earn more points on. Revisions without these instructions will not receive new scores. Please leave this information in the comment box. An example of what these instructions might look like is as follows:
Professor, Under “Purpose and Organization,” I revised my thesis and topic sentences. Under “Evidence and Analysis,” I added discussion of logical fallacies in paragraph four. Under “Grammar, Style, and Punctuation,” I added a Works Cited List.
Feel free to highlight the areas you revised in your document to make it easier for me to find them, but do not ONLY highlight. The written note is mandatory for me to review your revision.
be double-spaced
Note: This is a Revision Paper, and don’t forget to highlight which section you revise.
