After reading it more carefully, I want to say this essay is worse than I though initially.

I am aware of the nature of this kind of work, and again, I appreciate the work of the writer anyway.
But even without expectation of a five star essay, the quality of this one is still hard to get any praise.

Writer is obsessed with over-complicated but content-less long sentences. Some barely make sense at all. If I did not leave myself long enough time before the actual due date, the amount of required re-writing would be disastrous.
