Sloppy handwriting, cross outs

and white out used, and the
presentation looks rushed with
many mistakes.

It is clear and neat, but it looks

unprofessional - pictures are
sloppy, handwriting is sloppy,
and

The presentation looks like it

has gone through 2 or more
drafts. There are no cross outs
and the handwriting is clear
and can be easily understood.
