OBJECTIVE: Give feedback on my essay draft, focusing particularly on grammar and typos, how well-developed my ideas and arguments are, my understanding and use of sources, whether the structure and paragraphing is effective and appropriate, the overall coherence and cohesion of the work, and the clarity, fluency, and academic style of the prose. If there are any particular errors in style, grammar or tone that occur frequently within my draft, classify these at the end and give me advice as to how to improve in these areas.
