Working with classmates or independently, respond to the following questions:
How can you establish criteria for evaluating a subject? If you have written or are writing an evaluation or a review, what criteria did you decide upon? Why did you make these particular choices?
Why are comparing and contrasting, as well as defining, potentially useful strategies for evaluating and reviewing? If you have used one or both of these strategies, what benefits or challenges did they bring?
In writing an evaluation or a review, why is it important to make judgments reasonable, not extreme?
