Dear Student,
There were many sins you could have committed when writing your paper and to your credit you did not plagiarize. I'm so glad you didn't since that would have made things very unpleasant. I just want you to be aware that while I applaud your integrity, I deplore your writing. Please review grammar and punctuation as these are invaluable tools for all written communication. My biggest issue with your paper was not your grammar, although it was problematic. I'm afraid I must take exception to the completely unnecessary reference to Hitler and Nazi Germany.
You were writing about the Crusades. There is no argument you could make that would be enhanced by a reference to Hitler! NONE! I promise you. Please for the love of humanity don't make the comparison. There is a time and a place for everything and Hitler's is nowhere near the Crusades.
Sincerely,
Your TA
