Hey Nick!
ReplyDeleteYour resource list is fantastic and full of really solid resources. Here's a link to my review of this post, I tried to provide a few suggestions that may help you in your search for resources: http://ipass4zona.blogspot.com/2016/04/peer-review-10b.html
Hey Nick, here are a few comments for you regarding your research report.
ReplyDeleteFirst, I really enjoyed how concise you were regarding each source. You could make it easily understandable what each stakeholder/provider brought to the table. However, in my opinion, and I bet you know too, a few more sources wouldn't hurt. I couldn't help but notice the empty sources, but those will fill in over time.
Each individual source looks credible However, you did include two sources from YouTube, which is an indicator that there might be bias towards pro-computer arguments because YouTube is a computer-only platform, with no "print" version.
Overall, good start, try to crank out more though.
