<div><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif">A private student submitted the attached 1st species exercise to me last week. He certainly didn't break any rules, but I'm tempted to grade him down because my ear tells me there is too
much contrary motion.<img class="_mime-inline " title="cntrpt.png" alt="cntrpt.png" src="cid:c6644594-4730-459b-a50d-2f4803acf0ae@icloud.com"> Still I don't want to confuse him. I'm tutoring him & he will be starting college next year. He wants to major in
theory. Can anyone give me some advice?</span></div>
