such as idea development. For a complete look at

You have done a nice job of researching your topic and putting your thoughts down about your research and the sources
you selected!
For your revisions, I suggest focusing on:

2. Thesis Statement: Your thesis statement is unclear. Your thesis should be a clear, concise, and declarative statement
included at the end of your introduction. When revising your thesis, it should include the main topic of your paper = global
warming and climate change and the key points that you will discuss within your paper. The thesis sets the purpose and
direction for your essay. For more information on writing a thesis, click here:

3. Citations: In some areas of your paper you have included in-text citations for paraphrasing from your sources but it does
not appear that you have paraphrased any information from the source in this paragraph. Keep in mind...An in-text citation
is a citation within your writing that shows where you found your information, facts, quotes, and research. All in-text citations
require the same basic information: Author’s last name (no first names or initials), year of publication (or “n.d.” if there is “no
date”), page or p.

4. Sentence Variety: I would review your paper for complete
sentences and specific wording. There are some areas in your
essay where you are not writing in complete sentences. A
sentences is a complete thought with a subject and a verb.
Check the comment/suggestions within your paper and revise as
needed. Use specific wording and precise vocabulary to
convey your messages. I also made comments/suggestions in
areas that were a little vague and more explanation/content
was needed.
Good luck in the course!

5. This first paragraph does not contain
sentences but rather a list. Are you
required to format your paper in
complete sentences. I would check the
expectations for your assignment and
revise as needed.
Typically the first paragraph is an
introduction paragraph that lets the
reader know what your paper will be
about.
word choice: "trustworthiness"
Typically, your sources are listed on the
References page at the end of the paper
and not in the paper itself. Again, I would
check the expectations of the assignment.
You may want to confirm what the essay
is supposed to be about and what it
should contain. Typically, you would be

and not listing the sources in paragraph
form.
word choice: "are"
omit "rather"
insert "a"
omit "of"
The first parenthesis material is not needed.
You would include the (Moore et al.,
2015). if you were paraphrasing from the
article itself. It does not appear that you
have summarized any information from
the source in this paragraph.
Keep in mind...
An in-text citation is a citation within your
writing that shows where you found your
information, facts, quotes, and research.
All in-text citations require the same basic

I would suggest not including the
in-text citation for a paraphrase as it
does not seem as though your
paraphrased anything from the source
here.
I would suggest you be more specific in
your writing with telling the reader what
the topics are. Can you elaborate? Can
you use specific wording?
this wording is unclear - check your word choice here
I would suggest..."The trustworthiness"...
This is a fragment and not a complete sentence. I would suggest
revising to form a complete sentence with a subject and a verb.

Hi, Delores
I’m Stephen, your composition tutor for the Writing Center. I
have reviewed your submission and have several
suggestions that will help you revise. Please feel free to contact
us through a live chat session with any follow-up
questions or for any clarification.
Below, you will find a revision plan along with margin
comments within your paper. Use my suggestions as a starting
point for the revision process. Also, please note that I have not
edited or proofread the entire draft for minor errors, but
rather, focused on overall concerns such as idea development.

please use the Grammarly software available under “Writing
Center” in your classroom.
You have done a nice job of working on this assignment! There
is a lot of interesting information here, which is a good
foundation to building on your overall assignment!
For your revisions, I suggest focusing on:
1. You should work on your paragraph development. In general,
paragraphs should be around 5-7 sentences, and they
12. need to have 3 pieces:
P-Point—also known as your topic sentence where you state
what the paragraph is about
I-Information—where you present your information (facts,
details, quotes, and reasons)
E-Explanation—where you explain the relevance or importance
of your information
This means that you shouldn't be starting or ending paragraphs
with Information. Your Point and Explanations should all
be in your own words. Please be sure to do all of this when
writing your paragraphs. For help with this, click here:
http://writingcenter.bridgepointeducation.com/body-paragraphs
2. Please make sure that you are fully incorporating all
information used in your paper. They should be introduced and
followed-up with an explanation and analysis of their meaning;
do not assume that your reader will understand how the
information connects to your point. A number of your citations
don't seem to have an explanation. Make sure to add
substantive explanations to all of your citations. To learn about
this process, please click here:

Good luck in the course, and I hope we can help you with your
next assignment.

You should make sure that you are
developing your paragraphs properly.
Each paragraph should start with a topic
sentence that tells the reader what the
paragraph will discuss. Your sources are
only supposed to be used to support that
topic sentence; they shouldn't be used
as the topic sentence. Please make sure
that you're doing this.
You should also make sure that you are
properly explaining any citation that you
use in this paper. A good way to do this
14. is by using what is called the ICE
method, which helps to ensure that your
sources are seamlessly integrated into
your paper. For help using the ICE
method, look here:
http://tinyurl.com/hzhqgj6
Please make sure to remove your
instructions from your paragraphs.
page 3 / 6
Proofed Paper: ntp529102 - Thu Jan 10 12:55:52 EST 2019
You should also make sure that you are
not referring to the instructions, or the
paper itself, while you are writing.
Mentioning this "study", "assignment", or
"paper" needs to be avoided.
Please make sure that you are
15. speaking clearly, so that it is easy to
see what you are trying to say. it's not
clear how the reader is supposed to
read this information.

Proofed Paper: ntp529102 - Thu Jan 10 12:55:52 EST 2019
Again, please make sure that you're not
starting or ending paragraphs with
citations like this. You need to make sure
that each of your paragraphs are properly
developed, with topic sentences,
supported by sources that are thoroughly
explained. Please make sure to do this by
using the PIE and ICE methods in
conjunction with each other.
In addition, you should make sure that
16. each paragraph is of a good length. In
general, paragraphs should be at least 5-7
sentences long. Please make sure that
you're not making paragraphs that are only
1-4 sentences, or ones that are made up
entire of information from your sources.
