ReplyDeleteOrganic Food: Nutritious Food or Food for Thought comments from Leanna
ReplyDeleteDemonstrates the ability to draw and support conclusion - I thought the paper was exemplary in this area. The author was able to bring together different disciplines that help get to the conclusion of needing more research.
Project is well-written, clearly structured and organized; appropriate length - I thought the paper was competent in this area. I found the paper was clear, but sometimes the flow was a bit sloppy and the transitions from paragraph to paragraph could have been better. I think the length was good.

Project is well-written, clearly structured and organized; appropriate length - I thought the paper was exemplary in this area. It is a very complex topic to work with because of all the different factors and I think it was well written. The flow was good from paragraph to paragraph. Length was good.
I felt this paper was a fine example. However there were times when I felt the topics were a bit all over the place with what the author was trying to prove. It was very broad and complex. Without have the rubric I am not exactly sure of how I am to judge. Yet the wording and strcture was competent to below competent. Needed some improvements due to the length. There was a well defined argument and research to back it up as well as an interdisciplinary component which is the deal breaker without. I enjoyed reading the paper and have a better understanding of the green movement and the culture of Organic.
ReplyDeleteIntercultural Communication In Iraq: Overall the grammar was not bad. There were alot of commas and run on sentences in the paper. I also noticed alot of "I"s being used in the beginning and we were told last semester that we shouldnt be using them...
