So far, I have had all of my critical responses graded. While I believe that I wrote the responses well, I understand that I lost points because I did not entirely follow the directions. I should have looked at the rubric before submitting my papers. I know now to do so and I will make sure to include all of the necessary components of the assignments in my future papers. If I had read the rubric i would have know that I needed to separate my sentences into paragraphs and I needed to include a title.
