If my instructor were to return my essay without any comments, my intial reaction would be confusion. The grade I recieved was a B+ so obviouly I did something wrong. I would be confused because if I got points taken off of my paper, my instructor’s job is to help me improve my papers, and if she doesn’t leave comments I would feel as if they’re just going for my confidence. So, to resolve this confusion I would first email my teacher to check if he or she had some extra time to go over it with me. Another thing I could do is take my essay to study hall to see if that instructor had anything to say about it. Usually the study hall instructor has a different perspective that the professor, so the combination of the two would bring a interesting outlook on the B+ paper.
