 <title>Grading update</title>
 <description>
I ask your patience as I return both graded paper 1's and then edited first paragraphs.  I am marking slow but certain progress.  Should I take much longer to return paper 1, there will be another adjustment to the paper 2, take 1 deadline.  Additionally, you should go ahead and start writing paper 2 -- while my feedback on your introductory paragraph may be helpful, it is not necessary to make progress.  And please, no need to re-email your paragraph to me.
