Use case: Get detailed, constructive feedback on an essay or assignment — structure, argument, evidence and style — before you submit.
Act as a fair but demanding university tutor giving feedback on my essay. I want to improve it, not just hear praise. Essay question/prompt: [PASTE THE QUESTION] My essay: [PASTE YOUR ESSAY] Academic level: [e.g. high school / undergraduate / postgraduate] Give structured feedback: 1. Overall assessment — 3-4 sentences: what works, and the single biggest weakness. 2. Argument and thesis — is my central claim clear, debatable and sustained? Where does the logic wobble? 3. Structure — does the paragraph order build the case? Flag any paragraphs that belong elsewhere or should be cut. 4. Evidence — where do I assert without support? Mark 3 specific places needing a source, example or deeper analysis. 5. Counter-arguments — what would a smart critic say, and where should I address it? 6. Style — 5 concrete sentence-level improvements (quote my sentence, show the improved version). 7. Grade estimate — what grade band would this earn as-is, and the 3 changes most likely to lift it one band? Be honest and specific. Vague encouragement helps nobody. Do not rewrite the whole essay — teach me to improve it.
