Welp, we thought we’d get to the promised essay review sooner, but this week probably went just as fast for you as it did for us. Isn’t it strange how approaching deadlines can make time speed up? We have an essay critique for you today for the single Darden essay – not as difficult of…

Thank you guys! Appreciate the critique.
Back to the drawing board then, sigh!

Also, how would you rate the conclusion/learning of the essay. To begin with – is it making sense? If it is, am I communicating the learning strongly enough? Feel free to rip that apart too (not that you needed an invitation :))

The ‘learning’ section of any essay can almost always be improved. It’s one of the hardest angles to write about for most people. Your last paragraph seems to be a summation of what you did – it doesn’t have ‘learning’ per se in it. You’re writing about the things you did/skills you have as if you’ve always had them. That doesn’t fit the question. The concepts you’ve presented may have value but the presentation is off target. So back to the drawing board there too.

Understood. Thanks again.

Hi, do you post the entire essay for us to read or only the beginning? Thanks!
essaysnark says
It depends on the essay and what we have to say about it.
