bruh who even gets As?? my best research essay got B- with "decent analysis but citation formatting is a mess" like sorry for not being perfect at 3am

In 15 years of grading research essays, strongest examples share key traits:
Clear methodology
Original insights
Current sources
Proper formatting

y'all talking about methodology while i cant even figure out how to start... last essay feedback was "introduction reads like wikipedia"

ugh feel u... my first research essay was about genetic engineering but prof said it read like sci-fi. now getting As after learning proper academic tone

Want to see an actual disaster? My first grad school research essay came back bleeding red: "This is undergraduate level work at best." Now published in journals. Growth is real.

marking essays rn actually. best ones don't just info dump - they critique sources and develop original arguments

adjusts reading glasses Back in my day, we had to physically visit archives for research. These kids with their digital databases don't know how good they have it.

ok boomer but like... digital research >>> dusty books. just got A+ on my research essay using latest studies that aren't even in print yet

 

[Wendy_89]

Reading these comments... interesting mix of old and new approaches. Both have merit. My most recent publication combined archival research with big data analysis.

@Wendy_89 could you share your outline structure? my research essays keep getting "lacks coherent organization" comments

 

[Wendy_89]

check DMs! sent you my outline template and prof's feedback. warning: they're brutally honest

 

[lab_rat_pro]

honestly... sometimes feedback feels personal. got "perhaps consider creative writing instead?" on my research essay. now published author in both academic AND creative fields. take THAT, prof wilson
