Bridget's feedback:

"Your essay shows a good use of a five paragraph structure, and the reader is able to follow each main point, and keep sight of the bigger picture, across the entire essay. Your essay is neatly formatted, which makes it easy to read, and once you fix up the placement of punctuation after the parenthetical citation, you'll be looking good for the references. Keep an eye on clarity of language and word choice; some diction that stood out included "horrible," "isn't a great method," and "annoying." Try to replace these more casual usages of the words with precise terms that define the problem in particular, as well as capture the issue's gravity; this latter goal in particular will help with ethos.

In terms of argumentation, I urge you to include and respond to any counterarguments; for this issue, it may involve exploring why people choose this procedure or other uses for the testing.

Finally, please double check your definition and description of PGD against some reliable, general sources and make adjustments to the language of your claims. Whatever the shape of the thesis and later discussion, the exact nature and purpose of the technology must be made clear for your reader to establish the credibility of your discussion and authorial ethos."
