(¯`*..Essay Feedback System..*´¯)

I propose an essay feedback system to validate
the authenticity of essay critiquers on college
confidential. Something like what ebay does with
their user feedback system wherebye people
rate the grader's critiques on a 1-5 star scale
and have the option to post feedback messages.

Doing this would help a lot of students in knowing
who to trust in critiquing essays. It has been widely
supported on this thread.

How to safely use CC for essay advice without getting ripped off!

Personally, as a CC grader, I would also like this
initiative established so I can write a profile of
all my requirements before sending an essay. Also,
it would be nice getting some respect for what i
do heheh.

I give radronomega 5 stars because his comments are among the most critical I have ever received. Critical = what you need for Ivy-caliber schools. He avoids the fluff, doesn't tell you your essay is "good" or anything to boost your ego. If anything, he deflates it. He goes line by line very carefully, none of the "general impression" types of evaluations, aka one-liner commentary from english teachers. He will tell you if your essay is amazing, if it is worthy of such praise.

I'm only doing this because I'm grateful for his help. That's all.
