Sample Student Essay with Instructor Comments - Essential Writing Skills for College and Beyond

Essential Writing Skills for College and Beyond (2014)

APPENDIX B. Sample Student Essay with Instructor Comments

I recommend reading the essay by itself first—without the instructor’s comments. See if you can tell where the student exhibited strong writing skills and where you would offer suggestions for improvement. Then, read it again along with the instructor’s feedback. Don’t worry if your feedback is not exactly like the instructor’s; the example is included to give you an overall idea of the type of feedback you may receive from your instructors.
