Well I must say that paper-rater is brutal. I was quite surprised by the review. I have always been told I am a well-spoken, well versed person. I graduated High School at 16 years old in advanced courses. That was quite a long time ago, and as I have found out the hard way college is a lot different. I received good feedback from the service and I will use it in the future on every paper I write. There are so many little mistakes we seem to overlook. It broke it down for you and was so easy to use. Using frequently over used words can corrupt even the best essay. I received a grade of C overall. I was quite disappointed in myself and my performance as I know I have the ability to do better. There were four places that should have had commas
Or you felt there was a better way to phrase something and could think of how? Or you know, wanted an idea of how good your essay is? Well, someone with some kick butt algorithm skills wanted the same things- so they made a pretty little website named Paper Rater. It literally gives you the ability to have feedback on your paper before you hand it in for grading! It spell checks, correct sentence structure for readability, makes style and word suggestions (yes- even tries to help you beef up your essays with vocabulary words none of us cares to know but looks great on paper!) and checks for plagiarism without registering your paper. On top of all these features- it will grade your paper! Now the website’s admins notes that their program (affectionately named Grendel, with he/him pronouns) only grades the structure and grammer of your paper- grading the arguments made and the content of your paper is entirely in your teacher’s
I think my grade was pretty reasonable, because there were a few silly and critical errors I made when writing my paper. One of those silly mistakes was not using the website Paper Rater to check my grammar. I typed too fast and didn’t do a good job finding or inserting correct words. Another error I made was not making sure my sentence flowed smoothly in the same tense. Some of my sentences were very vague in my writing. As a result of this; next time I’ll try to improve my word choice and never use the word Things.
I am really proud of myself and happy with the result of the essay because it is not a bad paper. There are a few grammers mistake, but it was less than what I was expecting. The sentences structure are clear and it is understandable to the reader. Overall, I am very proud of how my paper turn out and I am happy with the first grade.
What I usually did prior to this class, is just skip the pre-writing and jump right on to writing. Because of that habit I usually ran out of ideas when writing, and result in unnecessary information and details in the essay. The reason why I did this is that I want to meet the requirement of three page. But after I learn how to properly write an essay, my writing started to improve. As professor Michals commented on the interview essay, “You’ve got a lot of writing here! It’s almost too much.” I wasn’t brainstorming at home nor organizing the sentences. I just cramp every information I got from the interview into the essay, and that action resulted by a C at the very beginning of the semester.. From the moment I got back the essay, I know I have to change my writing process in order to do well in this class. The teacher has also pointed out others weakness I have to improve, and the biggest one is grammar and punctuation. I started to follow the professor's advice and
On October 5, 2017, I wrote an essay titled “Argumentative College Essay.” On this essay, my Paper Rater score was 84. This is about a B. I got this score because of my word choice, style, and sentence length. First of all, my word choice score was a 3.79 (“lower is better”). I earned this score for word choice due to the quality and quantity of my words, and cliches. Second of all, my style was actually very good. My score was a 106
In my essay, I should have used supporting details instead of repeating the same sentence in different words. I also should have eliminated the empty words I used and replaced them with words that had stronger meaning. Lastly,
In it I argued that college education is not the key factor of success. In the introduction paragraph I could already see improvement as my attention getter was more interesting, I wrote “ With the rise of the internet and more freedom people today have countless possibilities to achieve their life goals”. Although it could be improved its clearly much better from the first essay. Furthermore, going into the body paragraphs my research was poor and it could not effectively support my claims. However, for these mistakes you can clearly see my analysis skills go up as I did go more in depth in each paragraph and tried to properly argue in favor of the
I graded my self in ideas as a three because most of the ideas in my essay were clear but not the best in the world. As for the organization of my essay was good enough for the reader to follow along and was clear. On my voice of my essay was a two because of the way I was not as clear and was a little unsure of what to say in the essay. My word choice was not that good. It was not approptie for my age and it was just using simple words in the whole thing. Then with my sentence fluency was not all that well. It was good but not as good as it could of been. The conventions in my essay was ok so I gave myself a three. There were many errors in grammar and my self repeating my self. These are the reasons why I think I got what I graded myself
This was the first paper of the year and I wanted to obtain a good score to assure myself from the doubts I had, that I could not pass the class. I felt scared from the start merely by the title of the class, I thought that being in an AP class I had to increase my writing style. That I should be compelled to use more advanced words, I should not have any repetition of the same word over and over, and my writing should be something similar to my classmates, which most took all three honor classes and in addition AP European History . I did all the above mentioned, except for the latter, the paper I later composed was horribly out of my comfort zone of writing and as a result, I received a bad mark for the essay. I used words that I had not at all seen before, and got the meaning of those words mixed up, because of this I confused some of my classmates and myself in the process,so I was not surprised when I was given a horrible score. I learned that I should write at my own amenity and should not correlate my style of writing to my
On my first freshman English essay, I got a C+. I was a bit miffed. I thought I had done my best.
I rate my work as a 5. I think that I explained my reasoning for each answer well and got them correct. I learned about how we have to pick and choose what we can and can't do or afford because we don't have enough time or money. I found it challenging trying to come up with responses that made sense.
I have to say that I was not surprised by review from Paperrater on my essay. I did not have any spelling errors but did have four areas that a comma should have been used in a sentence. As an officer spelling is key in a narrative of a report but I am going to have to focus on making longer sentences and using commas correctly.
I strongly believe you should give me extra ten points on my semester grade average,because I know that I may not always follow the exact directions giving to us for writing an essay,but I promise you that I try my hardest to get it right each time we write an essay.I am a man of ambition, I like to get my work done in order for me to achieve my goals.If one improves his or her writing,you think they're trying their hardest to do better? Do you think we try our hardest in class?
In this essay I had to do a lot of research on reflexes. This was a research essay and I was to choose a scientific project that turned out to be reflexes. I learned that I had capitalization mistakes and repeats. If I had a chance to write this essay all over again I would definitely shorten things, check my sentences more closely, and add more adjectives.
Take two. After a computer crash at 750 words, my latest lesson learned in this class is to not trust auto save and do it the long way every so often. Reflecting back, this issue was but a microcosm of the semester at large. There where assignment that I thought I turned in and didn’t. There was a really badly written research paper, and there where many other missteps along the way. Fact, I didn’t put the needed time into this class. I fancy myself a good writer, at least as far as stringing words and thoughts together to convey a message, but I know I struggle in the most basic areas of grammar. I didn’t put forth the time and effort to overcome these short comings. There’s beauty in failure. It is in knowing these things, the areas I need to improve, and the effort I need to overcome these short comings that growth and success can manifest itself. Part of improving is looking back at what was done well in the semester, and what went wrong.
