E-Mail Essay Grading Service 2019-2020
School Year
So this is how my grading system
works: Just send me the essay as a Word attachment, and please include the
assignment directions either in the text of the e-mail or also as an
attachment. Also, please let me know
if you would like comments only or comments with a letter grade. Please
alert me also to anything else I may need to know (such as learning challenges,
reluctant writing, etc.) so that I can respond to the essay in the most helpful
way possible.
I will respond via e-mail within 24
hours to let you know that I received the essay and on which day you can expect
to have it returned to you, usually within 3-5 school days. If you need an
essay graded sooner, let me know, and I'll see if I can slip it into my
schedule.
Also, with each assignment, please include the writer’s
age, grade level, and whether you want a letter grade since I grade for many
families and may not recall your family’s preferences.
I then
download the essay, mark corrections, make comments, and offer suggestions
in the right margin. At the end of the essay, I write an overall summary of
what was done well in the essay and what needs further attention. My
over-arching goal is to encourage growth in the art and craft of writing,
including format/structure, organization, fluency, vocabulary, and mechanics.
Then when I return the graded essay,
which I send in Word and also as a PDF (because some Apple computers/tablets
don’t show the review comments in the right margin of Word documents), I will
let you know the fee which is the number of words in the essay (excluding
any notes for me) times $.03 (3 cents per word) with a $10 minimum fee per essay. If you wish to have your writer revise
the essay and submit it to be re-graded, I charge half as much (1½ cents per
word with a $5 minimum) for grading revised essays.
Then I
ask you to remit via PayPal at PayPal.Me/SusanneBarrett
when I return the essay. I will grade
the essay first and then receive
payment after returning the essay to you. Please remit payment within 24 hours of my returning the
graded essay to you.
Regarding research essays, I am
well-versed in the latest Modern Language Association (MLA) format style
according to the MLA Handbook, 8th
Edition (2016) which is the format most commonly used for research in the
humanities. Because I am not at all familiar with other research formats such
as APA, CMS/Turabian, etc., I only grade
research essays formatted according to the MLA style, 8th edition.
Please
let me know if you have any questions; I’m always happy to explain and/or
discuss my essay grading services.
So send me an essay whenever you're ready, and we'll go from there! I look
forward to working with you and your young writer(s)!
Writing
with you,
Susanne
