Subject: Peer Review on the term “Object Recognition”
Katherine, thank you for explaining the definition of “object recognition” in a clear, concise way. Please read below my review and suggestions that may help strengthen your next draft.
First Impressions:
The document is well-written, and structured in a way that is easy for the reader to understand. It includes a figure that allows the reader to visualize and better understand the definition. Moreover, it draws information from various sources that add to the merit of writing.
Content:
- The introduction paragraph is effective by presenting to the reader what the assignment is and the objectives associated with it
- You provide three different definitions to the reader (parenthetical, sentence and expanded), which were easy to understand
- For the expanded definition, you touched on the history and went into depth for how object recognition works in a real life setting. This helped familiarize myself with the term on a deeper level.
- The visuals and examples given in the document help paint a picture to the reader, by allowing me to grasp the definition in a different way
- Four expansion strategies were used in the document
- References were present
Organization:
- The document is broken up into sections, with headers that effectively communicate to the reader what the section will be about
- The headers do not align with the content stated beneath them
- Use of bullet points and numbered lists throughout the document allow the reader to scan the information more easily
- A conclusion paragraph would be well-suited for this document, since the document ends with examples and no closure of the material
Grammar/Word Choice:
- Word choice was consistent throughout the document, easy to grasp
- Little to no grammar mistakes, be careful of potential run-on sentences throughout the document
Visuals:
- Detailed visual, that allows readers to visualize the entire process of object recognition step by step
Works Cited:
- The references were in MLA8 format
- The required three references were present
Concluding Comments:
Overall, I thought the definition was well explained and interesting to read. With the small edits suggested and an additional proofread, this will be an excellent document to learn and read from:
- Correcting formatting issues with the writing under the headers
- Double check the Works Cited
- Incorporating a conclusion at the end of the document, to wrap up the definition presented throughout the document
- Double check potential run-on sentences that may occur throughout the document
Definition (Attached):
It has been a pleasure reading and learning from the document you wrote, Katherine. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or comments you would like to make to me. Thank you!
