Example Output
Essay Feedback — Argumentative Essay on Climate Policy
Overall Impression
This essay presents a clear central argument and shows strong engagement with the topic. The evidence in paragraphs 2 and 3 is well-chosen. The main weakness is in paragraph 4, where the counterargument is raised but not adequately rebutted.
Strengths
1. **Strong thesis:** 'Carbon pricing is the most economically efficient path to net zero by 2050' — specific, arguable, and scoped correctly.
2. **Good use of statistics:** The IEA data in para 3 directly supports your claim.
3. **Clear topic sentences:** Each paragraph signals its purpose immediately.
Areas for Improvement
1. **Counterargument (para 4):** You raise the regressive taxation objection but dismiss it in one sentence. Spend 3-4 sentences acknowledging its validity before rebutting.
2. **Introduction hook:** Currently starts with a broad statement. Consider starting with the specific statistic you use in para 2 — it's more arresting.
3. **Conclusion:** Re-states the thesis but doesn't synthesize what the argument means for policy action.
Revised Introduction
'In 2023, global CO2 emissions hit a record high of 37.4 billion tonnes...'
Tips for Best Results
- 💡Paste the assignment prompt alongside your essay — feedback is 3x more relevant when the AI knows what you were asked
- 💡Ask for feedback as a 'peer reviewer' for gentler tone, or 'professor' for more rigorous critique
- 💡Request a rewritten version of just your weakest paragraph — seeing the improvement modeled is more effective than reading about it
