Revise, Revise, Revise.

Check-check-check it off.
--Summary Revision Checklist

1. Through a variety of pressures, students are becoming overwhelmed. This is a simple statement, but it reflects the authors ideas.
2. I detail a bit of the author's background and knowledge as to provide a basis for his understanding of his students.
3. The main points of this article are the four main pressures that face students today. I recognize each in a separate paragraph with explanations of each. I do feel I have reflected the authors idea in an unbiased way.
4. I feel as if this is organized in a similar matter of the original article.
5. I believe the thesis is accurate. I conclude the essay by including a direct quote from the text and wrapping up the discussed ideas in an effective way.
6. correct grammar!
7. I try to vary my sentence structures to keep from getting too repetitive.
8.I did use direct quotations, but only twice. I felt they reflected the points well and were concise.
9.There are only third person references.
10. It meets requirements.

** I do wish I had paid more attention to the MLA style format, because I know that I did not meet these requirements before submitting. I realized this afterword, and I wish I had double checked this beforehand.
