Explain Why Your Essay Feedback Made No Sense
Your tutor wrote \"needs more critical engagement\" in the margin and gave you nothing else to go on. This guesses the likely meaning, shows a made-up example of the problem and a fixed version, and gives you questions to ask if the guess is wrong. Good for anyone staring at feedback that assumes knowledge they do not have yet.
