Instructor's feedback on first draft

As a first draft, what you have here falls short (if it were submitted as the final draft, you would not pass--good thing it's not the final draft!). You do have a decent introduction. Your discussion of the Mormon belief is interesting.

Things to be improved:

1. Fill in the places where you only have an outline or point--like who are the main proponents of different positions on how you are saved & the names as well as actual beliefs of different groups holding to these different positions.

2. Your paragraph on the Mormons can be expanded to several paragraphs. You should bring in actual Mormon documents & writings to support your claims about what they believe. You should look at the Scriptures they appeal to (when they appeal to Scripture as they also have other authorities besides the Scriptures) & evaluate their interpretation of those biblical passages. You can bring in technical commentaries on the biblical evidence as dialog partners: e.g., commentaries from the NIV Application Commentary Series, the Word Biblical Commentary Series, the New International Commentary on the New Testament Series, &/or the Baker Exegetical Commentary on the New Testament Series

3. Generally, you can deal with other positions in a similar way as I suggested for the Mormons above.

4. Clean up the formatting. Do not indent your paragraphs as they cause the long horizontal box formatting you see. When you want to start a new paragraph, hit enter twice (which leaves an extra line between the line you were at before & the line you are at after doing so).
