4.m
This strategy has always worked out in the end for me as I have never received a grade lower than what I think I deserve. What I find most unhelpful about my writing process is that sometimes I can't just plow through it and when I stop to fix a little part I lose focus on the essay as a whole. So as long as I run through the essay and let my ideas flow, it all works out alright.

Workshopping Homework
For essay R I would be very motivated to help workshop because he has some very good points and with a little help with his grammer and some advice his works cited and support, he could have come out with a great paper. This is why workshop is so important. This guy could have gotten an A but instead we have decided to giive him a C. I fhe only did some workshopping his grade would have been much higher.

Response to Essay R
All in all, I would give Essay R a grade of a C. The general concept of the essay was fairly well developed, but there were many grammatical errors. For example, in the second sentence, the author means to ask a question to the reader, but the sentence is not finished with a question mark. Instances like this occur throughout the essay and could have been easily corrected through proofreading. The author also changes from third person to first person and offers many personal opinions which should not be included in the essay.
Although all of his claims and points are made somewhat clearly, he doesn’t have a lot of support and has only one source which could be bias. He needs to get more sources to eliminate this bias and then start to get away from using 1st person and his own opinions on wrestling.
