Lesson 5 of 5 in For students: research & study
Check your work for weaknesses
You can't see your own blind spots. AI can flag weak arguments, missing citations, and unclear transitions before your professor does.
Do this
Paste a draft paragraph or essay. Ask the AI for honest feedback on structure, evidence, and clarity.
Try it now
Copy this prompt and paste your draft where it says [PASTE DRAFT]:
>Give me honest feedback on this draft. Don't praise — focus on problems. Rate 1-5 on: 1) Thesis clarity, 2) Evidence strength, 3) Transition smoothness, 4) Grammar. For any score under 4, suggest a specific fix.
[PASTE DRAFT]
Check yourself
Did the AI spot a real weakness? Did it suggest a fix you can actually implement? Is the feedback specific, not generic?
What just happened
AI feedback is a first pass, not a replacement for human review. It catches obvious gaps ('this paragraph has no evidence') but misses subtle issues ('this argument is philosophically weak'). Use it as a pre-submission check, then revise based on the best suggestions.
