Bridget's feedback:

"This essay shows good control of the topic, as well as a solid facility with discussions of historical trends and context. More should be done at the top to introduce Weyl and his role in the movement--give his full name and, as possible, some context to the words (where they originally appeared), as well as your source for the text. Without this information, the reader spends much of the opening trying to figure out "where" they are in history and who you are referring to (and why); beyond the reader's confusion (and distraction), you run the risk of suggesting you don't have this information, either. While your later discussion makes clear your knowledge, you don't want your first impression to be counterproductive.

Sourcing, more generally, will ensure the robustness of your ethos and persuasiveness. Check with your style guide or your instructor for whether to use signal phrases, citations, and/or a bibliography."
