Hi Emere,

I understand that assessing and comprehending this paper was challenging. However, I want to emphasize that there is great potential for improvement in your writing. One key aspect that can significantly enhance your work is taking full advantage of structured academic paragraphs.

By structuring your paragraphs effectively, you can provide clarity and coherence to your ideas. Start with a topic sentence that explicitly links to the task and presents a clear finding. Subsequently, support your topic sentence with evidence, including principles, concepts, and concrete examples. For instance, since you were asked to position your team according to the Tuckman model of team development, your topic sentence should express your opinion about the team’s current stage. Then, refer to the behaviours consistent with that stage, cite relevant references, and provide workplace examples to validate your finding.

Additionally, I noticed occasional issues with referencing. It is important to avoid making a claim about your team or leader and then referencing, as this limits your analysis. Moreover, there were formatting errors in your references, such as unnecessary page numbers unless you are directly quoting. Please consult the formatting guide and referencing guide for proper guidance in this area.

I understand that there were challenges with expression as well. Some of your sentences were long and covered multiple ideas, making it difficult to establish connections with the topic sentence and follow your arguments. However, I could see your attempts at critical analysis, and it is evident that you possess a good understanding of the subject matter. Improving how you express your understanding is key.

I strongly encourage you to review the “Preparing for Academic Study” documents, including the formatting guide and referencing guide. Revisiting webinar one will also provide detailed insights into preparing an academic report, particularly in the first hour. Additionally, consider taking advantage of the free service called “Studiosity,” which can assist you with spelling, grammar, and expression. Don’t hesitate to reach out to your success coach for further support as well.

Remember, you have the potential to excel. With perseverance, utilization of available resources, and a focus on refining your expression, you will undoubtedly see improvements in your work. Keep up the good work, and don’t hesitate to seek assistance when needed. Your dedication and commitment will lead you to success.
