If you say “this is bad” explain how to improve it. • Don’ts • Correct every spelling/ grammar mistake (the author should use spell check!) • Fill the paper with vague comments like “great job” and “interesting” • Insult the author • Phrases such as “this sucks”, instead phrase as “This could be better if you added in…”
