Things I have culled from typing up student evaluations at work.
-The words opportunity and experience are dead. Cut them. Facilitate, too. Sentences like We had a lot of opportunities-- (Faculty member name here) facilitated so many learning experiences should be destroyed from the earth.
-However should always go in the middle of the sentence
-The words I think and I feel are superfluous.
-Writing down concerns, even if they are valid, tends to sound like complaining.
-Very and really are really, very dead.
