The Benefits and Drawbacks of Texas Instruments Ti-84 Plus CE Calculator

This is a paper about Texas Instruments Ti-84 Plus CE calculator. The purpose of the author's writing is to communicate how great it is and why. First, the author mentions that the Ti-84 is a graphing calculator that you can use for mathematics (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, algebraic expressions, symbols, fractions, functions), chemistry (periodic table), statistics, and engineering. It can be used by both students (middle school through college) and professionals. The author also highlighted how affordable it is. The author mentioned that you could use it on the PSAT, SAT, and ACT. Some additional benefits are that it comes in multiple colors (black, pink, white, mint), has a full-color screen, comes with a dozen apps, is thin and lightweight, and has a rechargeable battery. Some drawbacks are that it can't be left charging for more than three days, it is somewhat expensive, slows down when graphing, and does not have a computer algebra system.

Jenn's feedback:

"This paper is off to an excellent start, and with only a few minor changes can be significantly improved. First, you mention the need to make sure that you have a clear thesis statement. A straightforward thesis statement is essential because it communicates the purpose of your paper and highlights the points that the reader will find in the body of the paper. As written, this paper does not have a clear thesis statement. Typically, you will find a thesis statement at the beginning or end of the introduction. The summary of the thesis statement is, "This is the topic I am going to cover in my paper, this is why I am going to cover it, and these are the specifics I am going to talk about." For example, "This paper is about Texas Instruments Ti-84 Plus CE Calculator, the a, b, and c reasons why it is so great, and how you can use it for x, y, and z." Then, the paragraphs in the body of your paper would align with a, b, c, x, y, and z, showing that you are focused on your topic.

The content of your essay is excellent. You have provided a significant amount of detail about the calculator. It concerns me that you have references, so much factual information, and no in-text citations, though. It would be best to make sure that any information you obtained from other texts is cited to avoid plagiarism issues. Overall, the formatting of your paper is excellent. You did mention that it should be MLA formatted, so the biggest problem I see is your reference page. It should be titled Works Cited, your references should be double spaced, and each one should have a hanging indent. Last, while, overall, you have a good command of grammar, sentence structure, and punctuation, there are some of each of these types of errors, along with word choice errors scattered throughout your writing."
