Here's an example of the sorts of critiques that ChatGPT can offer: I'd include it privately, but it's far to long to include in private messages:
"Certainly, here's a straightforward critique of the piece, along with some suggested changes:Title:The current title, "Conquering Terror in the Classroom," is a bit dramatic. Consider a title that better encapsulates the central theme without using charged language.Suggested: "Navigating Tough Teaching: Finding Balance in the Classroom"Opening:The analogy with "premium candy lotto" is unclear.Avoid using slang terms like "shit out of luck" unless you're certain they resonate with your audience.Suggested: "For much of my education, I admired professors who simplified complex topics. But not every professor is a match. It's like navigating a sea of diverse teaching styles, hoping you land with the right captain."Clarity and Repetition:Several statements are repetitive or lack clarity. Avoid repeating sentiments already conveyed.For example, you mention the problematic nature of "terror professors" multiple times. Once the point is made, move on to supporting arguments or new perspectives.Imagery and Analogies:Some imagery doesn't resonate or is mixed. Try to stay consistent.E.g., Instead of "a premium candy lotto over a thousand black bubblegums," consider "sifting through a mix, hoping for the sweet spot."Tone:The tone is somewhat combative. While it's essential to express genuine emotions, ensure the piece is constructive and appeals to a broader audience.Highlight the impact of negative teaching styles without coming across as overly accusatory.Paragraph Transitions:Transition smoothly from one paragraph to the next. Create a logical flow.Conclusion:The piece's ending seems to suddenly dive into the concept of traditional versus modern teaching. It feels a bit disjointed from the earlier content.Suggested: "In the end, the goal is student growth. Let's foster environments that prioritize learning and mutual respect. The balance between discipline and compassion can shape the next generation of thinkers and leaders."Remember, this critique is aimed at enhancing the piece. Your sentiment and core message are vital, so the focus should be on refining the delivery.What's wrong with the grammar?ChatGPTLet's tackle the grammar:Opening:"For the most part of my education..."Suggested: "For much of my education..."Misplaced Modifiers:"I noticed how terror professors are most sought after on complex subjects because, apparently, the school believed that students could be disciplined in this way."Suggested: "I noticed that, on complex subjects, terror professors are most sought after because the school apparently believed students could be disciplined in this way."Vague Pronouns:"Is this a joke? I thought schools were safe spaces for learning."Clarify what "this" refers to for clarity.Sentence Structure:"I was so blinded by the terror culture and learning systems that I thought it was the only way for me to learn."Suggested: "I was so blinded by the terror culture and learning systems, I believed they were the only ways for me to learn."Verb Tense Consistency:"If my words were not reaching out to you, let me rephrase them."Suggested: "If my words aren't reaching you, let me rephrase them."Redundancy:"I learned that balance is everything. You cannot enjoy the riches of gold without experiencing the struggles to earn it.""Struggles to earn it" is redundant after "riches of gold".Suggested: "You can't enjoy the riches of gold without the struggle."Word Choice and Colloquialisms:"So goes the saying, I can fail you, but at what cost can you do to me?"Suggested: "As the saying goes, 'I can fail you, but what can you do to me in return?'"Conjunctions:"But now that I met people outside my terror professors, I was introduced to different spaces of learning."Suggested: "But after meeting people outside of my 'terror professors' circle, I was introduced to different learning spaces."Ambiguity:"While some think high on their clouds..."This is ambiguous. Consider clarifying or rephrasing.Subject-Verb Agreement:"Do you believe that the very source of learning is slashing hopes on students because they only amount to such?"Suggested: "Do you believe that educational institutions slash students' hopes because they feel students only measure up to a certain standard?"Sentence Clarity:"The culture of 'impress me so you'll' pass my class' is steering away from the true purpose of education."Suggested: "The 'impress me or you won't pass my class' mentality diverts from the true purpose of education."
Sorry for the format. It would look a lot clearer if you had it on your computer.
