1. In your own words, briefly share what this paper is about. The paper is all about the the left and right hemispheres of the brain and how it impacts our learning.

2. Does the paper include a properly formatted title page, separate text sections, and reference page? If not, what is missing? Yes the title page and reference page is properly formatted. There are also many in-text citations throughout the paper. I did not see anything missing.

3. Does the essay provide evidence and examples to support and define the thesis statement? If not, what might you suggest for improvement? The essay does have much support throughout the paper. I would suggest to use less support as there is to much and not enough of the writers writing in the paper. To much support makes it look like it is all from sources and the writer has no actual knowledge of what they are writing about.

4. Are the transitions between paragraphs smooth and logical? If not, which paragraphs appear to not be connected? I did find the paper to be smooth and have transitions from one paragraph to the next. It was in logical order as well.

5. Is the essay written from the 3rd person perspective? (In other words, did the writer avoid using the word I in the essay? If not, what page and paragraph did you find an I? There were no I words used in this paper.

6. Is all information from outside sources cited in the text and listed on the Reference page? If not, which one(s) are missing? All outside sources are cited in the pper and on the references page. There is nothing missing.

7. Does the conclusion restate the thesis statement and summarize the main points used to support the topic? Yes the conclusion does restate the thesis and supports the topic.

8. Are there errors in spelling, punctuation, or grammar? If so, where? I did not find any errors of grammar, spelling or punctuation.

9. What passage did you like the most? Cut and paste the passage here. I like this part of the paper the most: Although each person is dominant in the left or right hemisphere of the brain, each person obtains special qualities. All studies indicate no two brains are alike, and each has special qualities. Thanks to the research provided by Kidport (2012) there are ways to overcome deficiencies in learning.

10. What passages could be improved? Explain. Cut and paste the passage(s) here. All of the passages are good and I did not see any that could use improvement.
