  • Hi I'm, your writing tutor for the Writing Center. I have reviewed your submission and have several suggestions that will help you revise. Please feel free to contact us through a 24/7 live writing session with any follow-up questions or for any clarification. Below, you will find a revision plan along with margin comments within your paper. Use my suggestions as a starting point for the revision process. Note that I have not proofread the draft for minor errors, but rather, focused on larger concerns such as idea development. For a complete look at grammar and punctuation, please use Grammarly. You are exploring very interesting ideas about the problems associated with the rise of AI, and you also seem to be headed in an interesting direction with your proposed solutions! Keep up this great effort as you continue to develop your final draft! For your revisions, I suggest focusing on: 1.  Thesis Statement: You seem to be on a good track so far with the direction of your thesis because you are addressing your solution to regulate AI. What specific regulations do you propose? Consider developing your thesis to address the more specific aspects of your solutions. Here is a suggested thesis format: (Topic) presents problems of X, Y, and Z, which need to be addressed and resolved based on (proposed solution), leading to the ethical implications of ___. 2.  Organization & Paragraph Development: In order to promote informative and effective topic development throughout your essay, you will want to focus on one specific point/idea in relation to your thesis within each of your body paragraphs. A well-developed paragraph follows a clear PIE structure (Point, Information, Explanation). It is important to establish a clear Point in the topical sentence, which should be stated completely in your own words. Then, provide supportive Information within the middle of the paragraph with the inclusion of in-text citations. It is important to elaborate on that information in your own words with an Explanation and analysis of the point. You will also want to relate the point of each paragraph back to your thesis statement. This will help you to promote informative and fluent topic development.

Integrating Research: Be sure to include an in-text citation any time that you summarize, paraphrase, or directly quote another person’s words, ideas, or research information. It is also best to verify any information that is not considered common knowledge with an in-text citation. Currently, you present a lot of claims without supporting those claims with research citations. Your reader needs to know that you are basing your argument on research evidence, rather than opinion or speculation. You will want to integrate research into your paper by following the ICE method (Introduce, Cite, Explain). Introduce the point, Cite research evidence, and Explain the meaning and significance of the information. Check out this link for more help with integrating research into your paper:

Identify the top three issues your writing specialist focused on in your rough draft
The three top items that the writing specialist focused on my rough draft are paragraph
structure, thesis statement, and citation. The specialist elaborated on making the thesis statement
more specific to the problems and solutions. The paragraph development was also highlighted as
a part that requires improvement in highlighting a single idea in every paragraph. Lastly, he
explained that every new idea needs to be cited to show the reader the source for the knowledge
in every paragraph.
In what ways were those issues surprising?
The issues highlighted by the specialist are very surprising because I have always focused
on them in every essay. I have been making sure that I becom...
