Foundations and Assessment of Education/Edition 1/Foundations Table of Contents/Chapter 14/The Scoop From Someone Who Knows/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  The article addresses a very important program in Virginia and how it relates to special education. The interview is with an expert who has a strong academic foundation in special education and has great knowledge of the VAAP.

 Suggestions  Writing could be more detailed and not so direct. The article could address some oppistion to the issue to show an unbiased perspective or offern soem flaws to the VAAP. 

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.
