  • Click on the "Bottle Law Essay" link and read both the assignment description given by the professor and the brief sample student essay. Then provide feedback for the "student" as if you were a Writing Fellow. Go beyond simple editorial corrections, as Writing Fellows are not editors. Instead, focus on the ways in which the essay does/does not align with the assignment's requirements, and offer the writer your advice for improvement.
