Do I show evidence of having practiced the habits of mind expected of college students: curiosity, openness, engagement, creativity, persistence, responsibility, flexibility, and metacognition through critical analysis, rhetorical sensitivity, civility, and empathy? Please point it out. You seem curious about the subject of college affordability and even include a question toward the end of the essay. You are open to many different perspectives on the issue and you represent these in your essay. For example, you include sources about how older students and higher earners are part of the student debt crisis. You also seem open to feedback since you are asking me these questions and will use my answers to revise your essay. You are practicing critical analysis by considering the evidence provided by sources, although you could analyze it more closely. You are also being rhetorically sensitive as you respond to the sources and summarize them for your reader. You are courteous in how you represent the sources and how you interact with your reader who may or may not agree with you.
