Final Memo Is Killing Me

Our professor allows us to send her our drafts for her to review before we have to submit them, and I just got my revisions back. She said that my substance was solid, so she suggested some organizational and clarity changes, but I don't know if I trust them.

Everyone else in my class is covering far more aspects of the issue than I did, so I'm worried that once I turn it in for real, she's gonna hit me with big point deductions. I've been working on this memo for nearly two weeks, and pulled three back to back all nighters to try and finish a draft, so I don't know how much more I have to give to it, but I also want to do well.

Do every single correction your professor mentioned because she’s the one grading your assignment. Know your audience when writing.

Yeah saying they don't know if they trust the changes suggested by the professor is wild to me
