Peer Review of Danyell Lewis’ “Principles of Learning”
1. The intro paragraph does indeed provide a concise summary of what is going to be in the article. I noticed you removed “also referred to as” and I’m not quite sure that removing that part improves the flow and understanding of the intro. 2. You can clearly tell that you did not cut and paste from an outside source without citing so good job on that. 3. I think you could go into detail about the topics in the article that include a link to another article. For example, in the last paragraph, “basic needs” is mentioned but what exactly are the basic needs of students? 4. Perhaps you could have changed the wikilink on distraction to where distractions are mentioned. It says “if something weighs too heavily on their minds” and that is linked to distractions but earlier in the sentence it says “if the students are distracted”. I would link the distraction page with the word distracted. 5. Yes, neutral view. 6. No facts cited, I believe? Further reading is provided from the original article. 7. I would take another look at the last sentence you edited in the readiness sections. Changes did not make it more clear, might have made it more unclear. Not exactly sure what you’re trying to say here : “insoluble have overcrowded schedules” ???? 8. The same verb tense is used throughout the sections. 9. The page seems to be categorized correctly. 10. Yes the educational banner is on the discussion page.
I couldn’t find your outline so I’m not sure which aspects you would like to expand on. I might suggest researching what it takes for students to feel physically, mentally, and emotionally ready. It mentions this and talks about it a little bit (I think), but I wonder if you could possibly expand? I like that it talks about both the instructor’s and student’s responsibilities for being ready to learn.
Sorry I just found your outline! I’m still not sure what you intend to add/improve upon? Leahym1 (talk) 19:44, 30 March 2012 (UTC)
