Your tutor will reattach your paper and save it with the word response at the end of the file name. The message area of your tutor’s email to you will highlight your strengths and weaknesses, refer you to your paper for more detailed comments, and possibly recommend that you schedule additional tutoring

Here is an example of what your email from your tutor might look like.

James, Thank you for allowing us to work with you

on this paper. Your thesis statement is strong, and you have good paragraph development. Make sure you take note of the reminders in your paper about documentation and pronoun-antecedent agreement.

Sincerely,Your tutor

 Your tutor will have used editing balloons to make comments to you in the margins of your paper.

If you do not see the editing balloons when you open your document, choose the “show” tab above your document and be sure you have check marked “comments.” You will find additional general comments at the end of your document. Your tutor will focus primarily on the higher order issues such as your thesis and organization and will not correct every grammar or spelling error.
