I see you changed the alto clef to a treble clef. In the future, you must leave the clefs as I present them to you

1) In this exercise your cantus firmus is the alto voice or in this case the lower voice. Therefore, your next to last measure should be an interval of a Major 6th.

2) I noticed two occasions where you used some cross voicing. At this point and with this particular exercise you could have created good counterpoint without resorting to the crossvoicing.

3) You did well to end the exercise with a perfect consonace. I failed to mention that when the cantus firmus is the lower voice the last measure should have a perfect consonance of an octave. Therefore your next to last measure would be a Major 6th and then resolve to an octave.

I would like for you to try this exercise again reworking the measure with the crossvoicing and this time ending with a Major 6th in the next to last measure resolving to an octave in the final measure.

Make sense?
