Jenn's feedback:

"While reading your paper, it became clear what the purpose was, and you maintained focus on that purpose throughout the entirety of the paper. You did a great job including a significant amount of factual information that pertains to your topic and creating smooth transitions between topics.

There are a couple of places that I think could benefit from some additional detail. First, when writing about the periodic table, pretend that your audience consists of people with little or no previous knowledge about it. Second, while you have included both an introduction and a conclusion, I suggest you elaborate on both. Add a thesis statement to your introduction that summarizes exactly what the reader will read about in the body of your paper. In the conclusion, make sure to summarize all of the points you made in the text and relate them to your thesis statement. Third, regarding the formatting of your paper, some of your paragraphs seem too short. Consider combining paragraphs or, if it makes more sense, elaborating on the information you provided in paragraphs to make them longer.

Also, despite the fact that it is mentioned that you have properly cited information and you have included a lot of factual information, there are no in-text citations in the paper. Make sure that you cite any information that you got from another text (or even lectures) to avoid plagiarism issues. Last, overall, the grammar and punctuation in your writing are excellent. I think you can catch a few minor errors with a careful reread of the paper."
