<p>My English teacher was a huge help with my college essay. He looked over drafts of early ideas, which encouraged me to try out a new theme, then gave me suggestions on THAT essay when I asked him to take a look at it. I did all the writing, but he was instrumental in correcting and guiding the final work.</p>
<p>Based on that description, would you say that I had received too much help when it came to writing a college essay? (Again, he helped my choose a topic and guided my revisions, but wrote none of it himself.)</p>
