*Excellent
This is an excellent start to the term.  Yours if one of the best… well-written and thorough in addressing all of the questions and sub-questions I posed.  Thanks for taking the time to do such a good job, and I look forward to your other work.

*Do what I say
Also, be sure to do exactly what the questions ask you to do.  In this case, I asked that you pick a single story that had the biggest impact on you.  You wrote on 2.  As a result, you lacked the depth of analysis needed if you spent the time and words on just one.  You did, however, do a very good job at answering the credibility and objectivity questions…. the best I’ve read of the papers to far.

*Answers too brief
Re-read the last few questions.  I asked about speaker credibility and subjectivity. The questions I asked required much more depth of thought and written development than you provided here.  In the end, you seemed to imply that all of these accounts are fine/equal/credible/etc.  We will need to critically examine the evidence we are presented with this term.

*Didn't answer last questions
Re-read the last few questions. I asked about speaker credibility and subjectivity.  I don’t believe you addressed those well enough at all.

*Failure
You failed to answer any of the part 2 questions, and even your answer to the part 1 questions (after the intro) was only 3 sentences.  The questions I asked required much more depth of thought and written development.  But, it was much better than not turning in anything at all.

*Good to struggle
Finally, I am glad that you are struggling with the testimonials.  In this day and age, we can’t just believe what we read.  (Heck, we can’t believe what we see, half the time.)  All of the account should not carry equal weight with you.  And I think upon completion of this course, you should have numerous more answers to the questions and assumptions
