TARGETS FOR REVISING
Rationale
Easy to Spot
Harder to Spot
Simple Sentence Syndrome
In short, documents that are riddled with items from the TFR list indicate that a student has not engaged in the material or structure of the course.

The only way to improve revising skills is to practice revising. The TFR list provides a starting point to do so.

The list is what it is. There are no curve balls or bait-and-switch tactics. There is no question of whether I "like" the way a given student writes. If you produce documents that contain items from the TFR list, you haven't engaged in the course.

With that said, I acknowledge that the Harder to Spot items are somewhat difficult to deal with, and so I allow some room for the learning curve related to those items. However, the Easy to Spot items are just that, so deal with them as you revise your documents.
