The Myriad Causes of Academic Dishonesty in Secondary Education

This essay surveys the reasons why students cheat: peer pressure, a lack of confidence, time management problems, and "laziness," described as a lack of interest or motivation. The student argues that though peer pressure is most often cited as the primary cause, to address the problem requires taking into consideration a wider range of issues.

Bridget's feedback:

"You are off to a good start with a solid group of credible sources that you deploy at logical moments in your discussion. You have a wide range of talking points, which makes sense for such a complex and controversial subject. Now that you have all those ideas down on the page, start to think about presentation. Your overall organization makes sense, but sometimes the topic sentences or signposting throw the reader off. For example, the paragraph at the bottom of page 3 at first looks like another paragraph about peer pressure; more explicit topic sentences will make sure the reader isn't wondering why the discussion has circled back around. Related is the use of signposting. For example, you write "That leads me to a later topic of time management" -- the phrase "that leads me to..." sets the reader up for the next paragraph, which is actually about something else; you might need more precise signposting("time management will be discussed in a later paragraph"), or consider changing the paragraph order if it makes the most sense to bring up time management then and there. As you can see, these recommendations are about finetuning how you interact with the reader on the level of phrase and word choice."
