I just got my paper back and it looks like a murder scene. Red pen everywhere. 'Unclear,' 'vague,' 'run-on,' 'this doesn't support your thesis.' I thought I did okay, but apparently, I have no idea what I'm doing. The problem is, the feedback is so overwhelming that I don't even know where to start fixing it. How do you process massive amounts of critical feedback without just giving up? Do I go to office hours? Do I rewrite the whole thing? I want to get better, but I feel like I'm missing fundamental skills that everyone else already has. Has anyone gone from being a 'bad' essay writer to a good one? What was the turning point?
My professor returned my essay covered in red ink. How do I learn to write an essay properly?
