Got My Rough Draft Back

I received back the rough draft of my research paper.  My instructor only had two comments on it.  One of them asked for clarification of a point--but a couple pages earlier I had spent the better part of a page answering his question.  Ugh!

His second comment was that he felt my one-sentence closing, about John Napier's belonging in the Pantheon of the great mathematicians of all time, to be "glib".    Ugh.

Back to work, I guess.  I have less than two weeks to perfect and resubmit it.

  1. As to the first point, sounds like you can fix it largely by either movin the earlier text, or adding jus a bit better of a call back, As to the second … agreed. Athesis deerves a better closing, but U don't think glib is the right word ...
