Your paper really

impressed me with
the way you use
transitions and how
the whole paper
flows nicely. The
examples you
provided do a great
job of persuading the
audience and are
truly conviencing.

Organizational devices

Your organization is
great! Your reprot is
easy to read and the
indentaions help the
read see what the
sub -categories are.
Also I liked the way
you referenced your
appendix
throughout.

Lanuage may

highlighted a would. I
would change it to a
word such as
"obtain" Make sure
to review your
punctuation
throughout the
pages.

Recognize, evaluate,
and employ the
features and
contexts of design
that express and
influence meaning
and that
demonstrate
sensitivity to gender
and cultural

Inconsistent, confusing,
or unconventional
design distracts from
the text's message.

Design is sometimes
inappropriate,
confusing, or
unconventional. Often
strays from effective
design principles (e.g.,
alignment, proximity).

Consistent design usually

follows effective design
principles (e.g.,
alignment, proximity) and
enriches the text's
message.

Sophisticated, consistent
design follows effective
design principles (e.g.,
alignment, proximity)
and enriches the text's
message.

The design is very

good; but it is 3
pages two long. I
recommend that you
more thae tables and
charts to the
appendix to shorten
the length.
