A. General feedback for the class based on reading Term Paper A

• The quality of work on Term paper A ranged, for the most part, from very good (A) to excellent (A+). • If I made suggestions for improvement, then you can use these suggestions to revise and re-submit your paper. Keep these comments and suggestions firmly in mind as you work on Term Paper B (the new topic). • On composition: Make the paragraph the unit of your composition, which means the following. Start each paragraph with a sentence expressing a single idea or theme. Then use the paragraph to develop this single idea (only). Do not jump to other ideas in the same paragraph, unless the purpose of the paragraph is to compare or contrast two or more ideas. Use real examples from the speaker’s presentation to illustrate your ideas. End the paragraph with a conclusion/bridge to the next paragraph. Finally, make sure that your paragraphs tell a continuous story.
