Foundations and Assessment of Education/Edition 1/Foundations Table of Contents/Chapter 10/In the News/Peer Review Two

Part 3 - "2+2"
List TWO compliments and TWO suggestions about the article content
 * Hints:
 * Focus on the work, not the person
 * Describe "There is...", "I see.." rather than judge "You didn't..."

Compliments  . There were good concluding thoughts. . I saw good information about current and impending federal education reform plans.

 Suggestions  . There is a need for the learning targets to be adequately addressed. . I thought the content of the article was hard to read because of the number of run-on sentences. 

You can make compliments and suggestions that relate to specific areas of the paper or to the paper in general. I suggest a mixture of both. Focus on what's most important. Of course, you can also include more than two suggestions and more than two compliments. The goal is to help the author improve his/her article.
