Anytime you start a sentence with "This" make sure you say "This WHAT." Don't make THIS the subject of a sentence, make it an adjecgtive. Though grammatically OK, t is not clear what you are talking about, and may lead to confusion, especially when you can be referring to things a few sentences back, not just the immediate prior sentence.
