Peer Suggestions
1. Try to break up your paragraphs a bit more. They are quite long.
 
2. Some of the phrasing used in paragraph two is a touch confusing.
 
3. I would add in a bit more about how this affects the students going through it. You do a wonderful job of talking about how you will address it, but adding in that tiny bit more about the effects dealing with this issue has on students would balance that out.
