IAH 209 Peer Review
editHi Rachel,
I really enjoyed the article that you choose for the project! I learned a lot about body donation by reading your article. I like that on your sandbox that you bolded what was already in the article so I could see what you added. I believe that you did a very good job on adding to the article on the ideas that needed to be expanded more. I really like when you added the body donation places that and how you listed them. I would possibly add what type of information you would find on each website so it people are looking for specific information they don't have to click through each website. Also, under the Use of Donors I would add more information that you site so it make its credible and people do not think you are just putting what you think under that section. Overall though, I believe that you are on the right track and you have very good information and I can see how the topic relates to the class! I see that our topics relate as well because through visual image you can see if the child or donor had been abused if they were to donate their bodies. Good luck on the rest of the article and good job! Fordcar4 (talk)Fordcar4
Hi Rachel,
I found your article on Body Donation to be extremely fascinating. My brother and sister are donating their bodies to science and reading your article really opened my eyes to the subject. I really like how you broke down body donations into the various countries, it offers different perspectives on how different countries handle the donation process. You take a neutral position on the subject and present the information in an academic manner. My favorite section is where you list all the various programs in the United States where you can donate your body, it gives you an idea of the expansiveness of the donation programs. The areas where I think you could improve is mostly structural. In the India section you include a sentence where various religions approve of body donation and it seemed awkwardly crammed into that section. I think this could become its own section and you could describe various religions perspectives on body donation, I feel at some point there was opposition to body donation at some point in history and it would be interesting to see the opposition’s argument. Some questions I had in regards to content were: How long are donated bodies usually kept? What country has the most body donations? Does India have more body donation and less stringent laws because of the level of poverty in the country and people cannot afford funerals? There wasn’t any red flags in your first draft, just a few tweaks here and there, but I thought your article was really thought provoking! Please feel free to contact me if you need further feedback!
