I really enjoyed reading the review paper. I think it was well written and logically followed the story you were trying to share. There were some cases where you had sentence structures that changed from singular to plural. The phrasing in those sentences made the content hard to follow. I highlighted those sentences in red so that you can alter them according to how you wanted to share it. There were also some run on sentences that I highlighted. Other than that the content was great. I appreciate the way the review was laid out. Let me know if you have specific questions.
Deshawn Sambrano (My review critique) Hello Josh,
Overall the papers content is really strong. Personally, I notice that one issue I saw throughout the paper was wordiness particularly with helping verbs. For example, in one sentence you say have had to been studied. have, had, and been are all helping verbs. In scientific writing the norm is to write in passive, which is why you include helping verbs; however, in a few cases like this, it detracted from the overall sentence and was awkward for the reader. Additionally, there was a few missing citations that I notice. In one case, you said these findings have been implicated in several findings, but there was no citation of study that suggested that. Aside from that other mistakes were a few missing punctuation marks and odd word choice. The papers content, lexicon, and organization are solid. If you make those changes, you will do well on the e-portfolio. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Joshua Silva Response to Deshawn: Hey Deshawn, I appreciate the comments and feedback. I will go ahead and focus on those along with Dr. Bruce's comments. Hopefully I will see you along through these coming semesters.
