On the first paper written on Foreign Athletes, I gave this paper a C. In this paper I found a lot of spelling errors that were simply ridiculous. The paper apparently was not proof read before being turned in. The paper seemed to be close minded and did not make good points. The paper was very repetitive and the writer just kept saying how it was not fair that the foreign athletes received more scholarships then American athletes. In many of the quotes it seemed to me that there were many grammar mistakes also which to me is unacceptable when you are just taken someones words and citing them. The students use of sources were also not very impressive. Many of the writers sources were magazines like Sports illustrated and did not contain very valuable information. Over all I think

On the second paper I gave this person a C also. This paper was written about receiving high school and college degrees online. In this paper there were many grammar mistakes within the first paragraph. All of the mistakes in the first paragraph were very distracting and it did not make a good first impression. In the second paragraph she miss uses many words and has some grammar errors. She has an incomplete sentence and also starts a sentence with the conjunction "and." She used only three sources in her paper and one of them was just a simple newspaper with little importance.

On the third paper I gave this person a B. This was a good paper overall except for some spelling errors. The writer made some good points and supported those points by use of good sources.

On the forth and final paper I gave this person a D. Their paper was very repetitive and they kept rephrasing the same information throughout the whole paper. I did not think that they did a very good job with getting their point across. The writer however did have a wide variety of sources.
