Bob's feedback:

"You've made some good arguments here. Specifically, the argument that schools and teachers do not pay enough attention to the causes of cheating is a strong one. However, your thesis -- that punishments for cheating should be less severe -- lacks real support and is even undermined throughout the essay. You acknowledge that cheating is a problem, but there is little support for the idea that less severe punishments would alleviate the problem. In fact, you directly state that such severity can be an effective deterrent. Consider restructuring your paper to either support your thesis or revising your thesis to emphasize examining the causes. It would also be prudent to revise your paper to get rid of repetition. Having the essay edited can help with organization issues and mistakes in grammar and word choice."
