How to Ace Your Next Essay

[@TarynAfton]

Yeah. I once had an extremely strict English teacher in 8th grade. Never accepted late work, was harsh on her grading, and gave loads of homework daily. But, if you went to her for help before or after school, she was super nice about it and gave you some pointers in the right direction or whichever assignment it was that you needed help with. I got at least a letter grade higher each time, and I got more out of the assignment in the end.

[@Gabes1321]

I have the exact same physics teacher. Lots of people don’t like her because she’s quite strict and makes us do lots of supposedly unnecessary things to get higher marks in our exams. However she would be welcoming if you wanted to find her before or after school for help. I used to not like her but then I started using her advice and it made me so much better and actually physics is now my favourite subject

We had a an American college professor as our highschool English teacher. He’s around 65. His class was the hardest class especially since English is either everyone’s second language or third. You’re doing a miracle if you get above 95%. I got a 194 points on a 200 points worth essay and apparently other teachers told me he was always talking about how good of a writer I was.

I got my English teacher to review my entire essay, she gave me feedback, I fixed everything she told me and even spotted some of my own errors that she missed…..and still got a B Edit because this is very heated for some reason: yes the essay could have been better, now that I'm taking more advanced english classes I see some of the mistakes, however this teacher was generally not good seeing as how it was an advanced class and she gave us the same materials as the regular class and was easily persuaded by the class to change due dates, additionally she had not taught in several years due to working as a principal at another school. However I was upset because it was grammatical things that she pointed out and I lost the most points on things like that. She took points of for accidentally having an extra space (the essay was typed). I don't have the best depth perception so sometimes it's hard for me to tell where the spacing errors are and I wouldn't have been upset about her taking the points off if she had pointed them out when I asked her to check my essay.the other most common reply was the typo I had in my original comment. It was most likely didn't realize I had already typed out the word therefore I typed it twice. Thank you, have a nice day/night and stay hydrated.

I had a strict English teacher in 8th grade. I tried my best in her class and I did good on the homework’s, but her tests and essays were hard. In the beginning of the 9 weeks, my grade dropped to a D after some bad grades. I asked her for help and eventually I raised it up to a B. However, since she knew that I only wanted As and so did my parents, she raised my 90B to a 93A for my effort. I did good the rest of the year as well. She probably helped me write really good essays in my high school years (which I am in now) and her teaching allowed me to a get a much higher act score in the future. I hated her at the time, but now I appreciate her a lot.

[@StrawIceBerry]

Thanks, I will definitely ask for clarity on my essay

[@Im15cheese]

My English teacher was just like this and many people hated her, but the real reason why she was being so strict was to prepare us for the next grades. She’d always remind us about how whatever we’re learning will be needed the next year. Because of how strict she was, the next year in English was a breeze and I got a really good mark

Yes, it is true that as an english literature student, back in school days, I wrote snd practiced for hours and hours on how can I write which will please the teacher, but failed.

[@blueangel9544]

That's wonderful that they gave so much feedback. That's a good teacher. I did a near perfect presentation once and they said they had to nitpick to find things wrong with it. He gave criticism to help everyone help everyone learn. However he asked everyone if they wanted criticism beforehand. So each person could choose to get feedback or not. He was the harshest teacher in the whole school that I was aware of. Notorious. But he loosened up on the year I had him because he realized he was too strict and wasn't helping students by being too harsh. So he dialed it back and tried to understand how everyone was feeling at home and trying to respect anxiety. He gave people an option for a little bit off the grade of the presentations to not have an audience except him. So people with social anxiety wouldn't have to deal with crowds of students. He really tried to be a better teacher. He made too many students cry I think. Or maybe just got some feedback somewhere that made him rethink his methods and attitude.

Even with less strict teachers, this works. By asking for the teacher's feedback, you can see what they want from the essay and how they want it written, meaning its free points for you after a quick revision and these points can cushion your class grade if you mess up on a test. If you have a talent for writing a decent quality essay really quickly, it helps, as you still have plenty of time to revise it. Better yet, if you have a parent who's pretty good with writing and literature related topics, ask for more feedback. Its an easy way to finesse an A on your essays or creative writing assignments. This strategy can also work with history or science projects or papers.
