Crystal's feedback:

"You do a lovely job highlighting key advantages and disadvantages of online education , but you might consider making the time period more evergreen in the intro by mentioning the specific period rather than using phrases like “recent months” and “these days.” Some of the transitional words/phrases, especially in the disadvantages paragraph, also feels a bit forced/overused; I encourage you to try using different sentence structures (which would also create better flow) without a transitional word/phrase at the beginning. The advantages paragraph also has illogical organization; consider focusing first on convenience and flexibility broadly and then what those advantages mean for students. In addition, you mention students would have time for leisure time to do what they love, but would this limited somewhat given the pandemic? Make sure everything you highlight works with that context since you frame things specifically around the time period. Your conclusion would benefit from synthesizing more information about the specific advantages and disadvantages, though your final sentence does include a nice broader takeaway. In the disadvantages paragraph, you pack a ton of great details in, but you might consider making it clear in the topic sentence that you'll also be suggestions ways to avoid or mitigate the disadvantages. Finally, editing with a close eye on word choices would help you address some areas with awkward phrasing, inconsistent capitalization, redundancy (e.g., “detrimental drawbacks” – just “drawbacks” is sufficient), misspelled words, and pronoun/POV shifts between first-, second-, and third-person pronouns. Given the nature of your topic, third-person POV is best."
