Peer Mark Review
Discuss the introduction. Is the work being evaluated clearly presented in the thesis statement? Is the length of the intro too long or too short? Give suggestions for improving the introduction paragraph.
The writer begins with a general statement and gradually leads the reader to the more specific discussion about Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket. Although the thesis is not highly specific, it does establish the author's main point. That point is that Full Metal Jacket is "one of the best representations of the Vietnam era United States Marine Corps," (1). The introduction is brief and to the point, but not too short. I would not change too much about the introduction, because it is a short paper that does not warrant a more specific paragraph.
At which point did you feel most interested by this piece? When least? Explain
I felt interested by the essay right away, because I have a personal interest in film and especially classics like Full...
Having not seen the film, I was curious to see what the writer had to say, and why he or she felt compelled to write about the Kubrick classic. I wanted to know what the student's take on the movie would be, versus what I can read easily online by critics.
I also appreciated the fact that the author used trivia that might not otherwise be incorporated into an essay. For example, the author starts the second paragraph with information about how the technical advisor to Kubrick, R. Lee Ermey, "insisted he should play the part of Gunnery Sargent Hartmann," (1). It was not the first time Ermey had acted, but it was still interesting to know that he felt so strongly about the character and the film as a whole. Ermey did seduce Kubrick with his performance in prior movies, and the anecdote was inspiring. I remained interested throughout the entire essay. However, by the third paragraph I started to wonder where the essay was headed. It seemed like the author strayed from the…
The findings of this study support the view that the effects of peer pressure are related to earlier processes in childhood. This has led to the recognized research imperative to "...include longitudinal data from both peer and family contexts in studies of trajectories leading to adolescent problem behaviors" (p.45). In other words, the study points to the importance of a more holistic approach to understanding the motivational impetus and

The plaintiff, however, has a burden of proof prior to any other technical issues. In addition, because of the nature of the allegation, and the fact that normal members of a jury or judge cannot be expected to understand complext medical terms and procedures, expert witnesses are typically called -- usually for both sides (Uribe, 1999). In the United States, there have been several cases that have set international precedence
" These authors purport that although mood and behaviour may constitute a vital part in disorderly outcomes of drinking scenarios, other social factors can equally contribute influences. These factors, according to these authors, can be categorized by the following factors: the attitude and motivations that young binge drinkers bring to drinking, the social and peer group norms under which they operate, and features relating to the drinking environment.

Generating Hypothesis/Research Question Systematic and critical reviews The long established concepts and specialists reports have progressively been substituted by more organized reviews on the basis of latest researches (Heming and Brereton, 2009). An effort is made to maintain the same standards of researches that were previously maintained, by these organized reviews (Hemingway and Brereton, 2009). Findings on which the review is based should be properly expressed so that the data can
Time Management in Organizations: A Review of Literature Time management as a process and research construct have numerous dimensions that makes it dynamic and, from the researcher's perspective, susceptible to being measured incorrectly when tested for cause-and-effect study types.
