Form and Style
1. Yes all is included but may want to use same header as resume as it was suggested in the cover letter blog by instructor.
2. Yes
3. Yes I believe it suits the occasion overall pretty well.
4. Yes, you seem well qualified and enthusiastic without being over the top.
5. I did not see any spelling or mechanical errors.
Content/Rhetorical Context
1. I'm not sure if proper keywords have been used throughout the document. You may want to look at the job ad and see what keywords it uses and utilize them throughout your cover letter.
2. Yes, to supplement academic learning.
3. Yes, you have your computer skills and I am not familiar with the last two applications but I'm sure that they are a part of the jargon for this position.
4. The position applied for and source is listed in the first paragraph but the reasons that you are well-suited aren't listed until the second. You may want to briefly mention them in the first and then elaborate more on them in the second paragraph.
5. Yes
6. The things that I would consider changing would be the header and then introducing why you are well-suited for the job briefly in the first paragraph. With the header it will make the documents flow well together and by introducing skills in the first paragraph you are catching the reader's attention earlier.
