Peer Review of Alana Mays
Cognition: The articles are explained well and form a synthesized argument. However, this feels more like an argumentative essay than a literature review to me. It seems as though the idea of differing gender roles is introduced and explained before the piece moves on to how Cleopatra did and did not align with that gender system. Perhaps more explanation of what the articles have in common (or do not have in common) would help make this piece more like a literature review. Score: 2
Invention: The proposition is not completely clear. I believe it is that Cleopatra's image has been influenced and changed by other cultures' idea of gender roles; however, I am not sure. I think this is due to the fact that this seems

The reasons and evidence are integrated well, and the paragraphs follow a logical order. As I stated previously, the proposition is not entirely clear, but it doesn't seem to me as though there are clear introduction or conclusion paragraphs, and the addition of these could aid in stating the proposition in a straightforward manner.
Presentation: The diction and syntax is clear, and the information presented is easy to understand. I think that the main issue with presentation is making this seem more like a literature review than an argumentative essay. Score: 3
Overall: The main issues I saw throughout the essay was that it seemed to be an argumentative essay rather than a literature review and that the proposition is not entirely clear. However, I feel as though these could be easily fixed by focusing more on the articles and the field and by clearly stating the proposition at either the beginning or the end of the piece. In terms of grammar, the first sentence uses "restore her," but I think you actually mean "restore herself." Score: 3

Evidence is worked into the literature review effectively. The evidence and reasons are organized chronologically, and this organization is extremely important since the proposition focuses on the chronological progression of the argumentation style. One element I think is missing is a conclusion paragraph. The literature review seems to end abruptly on evidence. Score: 3
Presentation: The diction and syntax is clear, and the information presented is easily accessible to the audience. The piece is presented as a literature review and works well within the genre. Score: 4
Overall: Overall, I think this literature review is good. I think the most important thing is adding a conclusion to end the literature review more effectively. On than that, I only have a few comments. The first sentence is slightly awkward; it could be fixed by reducing “such as the one argued by Aristotle” to “such as Aristotle.” You mention how the authors of the articles you cite mention other writers. It might be effective to introduce these individuals so that your audience is not confused. In terms of grammar, there should be a comma after “philosophers” in the first sentence. Score:
By spending more time to research, I would be able to counter the Opposition’s arguments effectively. By elaborating on each argument, I would be able to further support my points with evidence. By using the ARE method to justify, the outlook for my part of the debate would look and sound more professional. Overall, there were several minor mistakes that could be easily fixed when reviewing the debate in my mind.
2b) The authors provided the reader a lot of information on the topic. Each topic was very well explored. A lot of different information on different but similar studies. The authors seemed very knowledgeable on the topic. This article lacked a few things. A clear research question and a hypothesis. The paragraphs were not clear and consist, I felt that I had to dig to get certain information. The paper was very wordy, which made me have a hard time understanding the substance.
I like and agree with you on the way as you presented your analysis, I agree that Elizabeth Svoboda makes use of real-life examples from start to ending not only to support her article, but to captivate the audience and make it more real and credible to the readers, and in the meantime, to support the what, why and how. I noticed the uses of Facts vs Opinion included this in your summary. You definitely established your agreements with the author with a solid basis.
To conclude, I really like this essay, the topic is very interesting because not everybody knows this information. However is for 2004. It has really good evidence, but I think it needs more of persuading. Also, I think this essay is not well organized. I think that it needs more personal
The essay fulfills the assignment. Content is developed and ideas are clear. The essay, however, demonstrates a less than thorough understanding of the concepts and facts and contains minor flaws. There is some room for improvement.
The critique was clear and easy to understand. I felt like I was in the actual research myself as I read the critique. An advantage to doing the critique on Woodgate et al., (2016) study was that it was well written and clear in regard to the items being analyzed. Qualitative research is a difficult task, especially for those inexperienced. In evaluating a critique one of the main considerations is to evaluate if the one doing the critique supported their conclusions and findings (Polit & Beck, 2017). I feel Milburn (2017) did an excellent job and I enjoyed reading her complete and easy to follow
Next, after writing this analysis it has better prepared me for writing my own persuasive arguments. I mentioned several fallacies that were in the article, that weakened the argument. During my persuasive
A 3 on this essay is completely justified. The writer of this essay adds no development to his sources used. This essay is no doubt a 3 because of a lack of argument, circular reasoning, and handwriting, and the reviewer knows that too. The reviewer first indicates that “The sources seem to drive the writer’s argument throughout the essay.
A good literature review is considered to prepare the ground for new research (Beck and Pilot, 2012), discuss previous work if necessary in order to explore the depth of the articles (Smith, 1997) and justify the need for news research to take place (Munhall, 2006). This allow the reader to be aware of what already exist about
Cognition: This argument is definitely justificatory and you adhere to the genre. You address your audience well, and the comparison and contrast you provide is very effective. However, I am still not entirely sure what your proposition is. It feels as though each paragraph is a small argument that can stand on its own, but the common thread linking them all is just the structure. It isn’t until the conclusion that I can get an idea of what your point is. I think a clear introductory paragraph would really help to avoid confusion. Score: 3
OVERVIEW: For Part I of this two-part assignment you identified and summarized elements of a published scholarly article selected from the classroom Resources Folder. For Part 2, which is due by the end of Week 6, you will analyze, connect, and reflect on aspects of your selected article. Note that the words “succinct” and “thorough” repeat regularly in the instructions below. They will serve as reminders that this is a formal assignment and sentence
1. I had a confusing time summing up the main ideas which translates to people reading my summary and understanding what the article was about. I did a good job concluding the solution of what Mrs.Coontz was saying. Yes, I understand that some of the things I was talking about were confusing due that I was assuming to much. I should not assume the reader knows what the article was about.
I enjoyed reading your review and got a lot out of it. When you said, “Another purpose of literature review is to determine how an issue can be resolved and managed based on research evidence” (Boswell & Cannon, 2011). I have had this happen to me when reviewing literature. I was thinking the literature would show one thing and it wound up showing another. For example when I was reviewing the evidence-based practice of relieving pain for dying patients. I found it was not uncommon or considered doing assisted suicide if you were to medicate a patient on the wishes of the family as to what they thought the patient was feeling when the patient themselves could not express for themselves pain and a lethal dose is given. As stated “he literature
The sources cited were mostly primary sources of other studies similar to the researchers study. Conversely, although the research article had excellent references, none of the research of the reference cited was compared or contrast with the study the researcher conducted. I feel that the researcher should have compared and contrasted the previous studies in the references to that of his own. The researcher simple just summarized the references that was cited in the article and explained the relevance to the current study. Nonetheless, I believe the review is well organized because each paragraph is discussed in order and all the information is in one place rather than all over in different paragraphs. I believe the researcher did not summarize the literature because they go on to discuss their own study. Lastly, I think the implication discussed forms an empirical rationale for the hypotheses.
The prim and proper women and the strong and strapping men are no match for Shakespeare’s haze of character’s muddled together in Antony and Cleopatra. As always Shakespeare delivers a luminary cast of individuals that deviate from the socially accepted gender roles. As the audience works its way through the fierce genesis to the catastrophic resolution, it is made more than apparent that lines are being crossed all over society’s conformist board of gender specific expectations.
