#26-Help!-Rachel Hart

I'll begin first with the positives. Like most English classes, in your class we wrote a multitude  of essays. While I complained before we began to write any of the essays, I have to say that they actually helped to improve my writing and the scores I received. I also think that becoming familiar with the style of questions both essay and multiple choice was effective in my preparation for the AP test. The smae is true for our ACT prep. I hated the thought of answering multiple choice questions each day, but breaking them down into 15 or so question chunks helped in making the task less tedious. However, I did not like using turnitin to grade essays.  I found that those responding to my essays never gave quality feedback like I received in congress style discussion. Everyone, including myself, were rushing to have enough comments on each essay then moving along to give more bad feedback to the next essay we needed to grade.
