Dear Writer,
Below is some feedback I received for the first essay written by a writer (I will attach it below) on Foucault a grade of (59%) and advice for the second essay I have assigned for you. Lets hope we can get a better result! =)

– Intro needed not just repressive hypothesis but also the facts that Foucault argues against it ++ your personal take on that.
– Introduction needed to be clearer, at first it reads as if F agreed with the repressive hypothesis which of course he does not.
– Better writing style and language expression is needed
– Too many sentences which where unclear (explanation of Foucault arguments)
– Encouraged to engage more closely with the core text and your interpretation of it. This is fundamental to receiving a higher grade
– Less secondary sources, you should use them to support your argument only
– Clearer formulation of the arguments and essay structure needed
– Argumentative essay
