Part 2: Successes and Challenges

Two Successes:

1. I really enjoyed this paper as it clearly explained what Recrystallization while using reliable
sources as I noticed there nearly all their references are to peer reviewed journals or otherwise
credible sources which help to add authority to your statements. In addition to that I felt like the
tone was what you would want for a definition because it was informative and just laid the
information and they weren't trying to point the reader toward a certain why which is important
to have when creating a wikipedia type document.

2. I also liked how they used Markel's definition strategy of partitioning different types of
recrystallization as they explained "Single-solvent recrystallization, Multi-solvent
recrystallization, and Hot filtration recrystallization".

Two Challenges:

1. I couldn't find many issues while reading this paper so most of comments are mainly small
issues, for example the author may want to size their pictures down because based off the prompt
the picture should only take up 25% of a page and in this paper they take up as large chunk of the
page so they may want to size down some of the pictures they used.
2. Another recommendation I would add would be to increase the font size for their headings and
title just so they stand out more from the paragraph and that way it also makes it easier on the
reader when navigating through the paper. Also you’ll want to make sure you use consistent
sizing throughout the work.

Part 2: Successes and Challenges

Two Successes:

1. I liked how Corinne broke down their word because it helped clarify what their word
meant, which was helpful when it came to understanding the actual definition. I also
felt like their addition of including examples of what an Anerobic entails was a
helpful tool to explaining the definition, in their definition paper she stated, “A few
options of anaerobic exercises include boxing, biking, running in intervals, and
weightlifting”
2. Another part of their paper that I enjoyed was when they compared their word
Anerobic to another similar type of exercise called Anaerobic. Explaining this
contrast is important since you will have a broad range of people viewing your word
and so this information may help to keep a reader interested.

Two Challenges:

1. One area of improvement that I saw was citing because they did list their references
for both their pictures and for the information they included in their paragraphs, but
there weren’t any in-text citations and they should also try and include text boxes
under all the pictures to describe the figures as they did for their Louis Pasteur
picture.
2. Another area of improvement would be to have all the headings be the same size and
they may want to make their font size larger than the content in the paragraphs so that
they stand out more and it’s easier to know where you are when reading the
definition.

Part 2: Successes and Challenges

Two Successes:
1. While reading your paper I really liked how you used Markel's Definition strategy,
Partitioning when you explained the different types of symbiosis by stating, "There are three
specific types of symbiosis that may occur; mutualism, communalistic, or parasitism". I feel like
including this is an important part of explaining why symbiosis is and also helps to explain how
the relationships can vary.

2. I also liked how your pictures clearly stated the type of symbiotic relationship you were trying
to explain and in addition to that I liked how you added captions below the pictures to further
explain what the reader is seeing what type of relationship it's showing, "Clownfishes in an
anemone. Showing mutualism. "

Two Challenges:

1. One area of improvement that I noticed was in regards to your headings because in your paper
they're the same size as the actual content which may make it difficult for the reader to
understand where they are in the paper. Also you may want to put Figure 1 and 2 under your
photos and next to the caption just so it's easier to connect your captions to the pictures.

2. Another recommendation I would have would be to include in-text citations because it looks
like you have citations for the pictures, but throughout your paragraphs I couldn't find any of the
citations you referred to in your work cited.
