Be sure to look through all of your feedback and make changes to your next assignment accordingly. Always ask for help on writing if you need it. Always be as specific as possible and make sure you thoroughly and carefully explain everything in analysis. Analysis is by far the most difficult part so do your absolute best on everything else.

Do well on the easier stuff- the homework, classwork, etc., so that you don't need to worry so much about your test grades. The test/writing grades are very difficult for the majority of people, as she is very very nitpicky about analysis and claims. Always ask for help with claims, in order to get feedback.

Listen to her, many things she says come back to bite you on tests. Also, don't try for an a on writing assignments, it's not possible.

Ms. Dewitt is a very nice person, but her grading is far harder than necessary, and will not necessarily reflect your understanding and/or effort in the course. Avoid her classes, but everything else is fine.
