Ode on a Grecian URL

Essays are coming back this afternoon and evening. If you would like to know your grade—and there is no crime in not wanting to—I ask you to email me back your answers to these two questions:

• What did you do best on this essay?
• What specific feature of your writing do you hope to improve in next essay? How, specifically, do you hope to improve it?

You are welcome to respond to—even disagree with—my comments: writing is very much about dialogue with your reader, and I invite you to participate actively in that dialogue.

And you are always welcome to talk with me--during office hours, or before lecture, or via email--about my comments. I'm happy to clarify anything I've written.
