Annotation format

We will use the following annotation categories for writing critique and feedback.

  • Mechanics: Issues related to grammar, punctuation, spelling, and scientific understanding in the writing.
  • Organization: Problems include disorganized thoughts, unclear progression of ideas, or sections that may not flow smoothly.
  • Constructive feedback: Constructive criticism and suggestions for improvement.
  • Style: Comments on the stylistic elements of the writing, including choice of words, sentence structure, and overall tone.
  • Plagiarism: Text is heavily quoted from another source.

I will explain the meaning behind the first annotation, but subsequent ones will just be highlighted.
