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 . THE ORIGINAL TOPIC IS SIGNIFICANT AND THE LEARNING TARGETS ARE ON POINT. . THE ORGANIZATION IS GOOD. THE SUPTOPICS COVERED ARE NOT TOO BROAD. .

 Suggestions . REVISE WORDING, MECHANICS, AND GRAMMAR. .BE MORE SPECIFIC AND PROVIDE BETTER SOURCES. . 

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.
