    1. Were the basic sections (Introduction, Conclusion, Cited, etc.) adequate? If not, what is missing? The basic sections were present and well organized. However the introduction could have been perhaps a little longer than it was.
    2. Did the writer use subheadings well to clarify the sections of the text? Explain. Yes, the writer used subheadings adequately to clarify the whole paper.
    3. Was the material ordered in a way that was logical, clear, and easy to follow? Explain. Overall the writer developed the paper in a logical, coherent manner. She began with an illustration that made the whole paper very easy to understand and follow, right from the beginning. Furthermore, the writing has a lot of figures which made it easy to follow. However there were some instances where her thoughts were not finished, for example: “TCP is an end implementation protocol"; "which provides connectless services at for application level procedures". These few instances temporarily disconnect one from the flow of the paper.
    4. Rate the paper on Assertion: clarity, importance: (Strong, Satisfactory, Weak). Overall I will rate the paper satisfactory. There were two or more statements that were not clear. For example, writing about UDP she wrote “what it does offer is sequence control, less overhead, and error and flow control". However, while UDP has less overhead than TCP, it does not offer sequence, error, or flow control. Another statement that was not clear was “Chapter three addresses the issues associated with pack resemble over varied networks".
    5. Rate the paper on Evidence: relevance, strength, credibility: (Strong, Satisfactory, Weak). Work was properly cited.
    6. Rate the paper on Organization: arrangement of ideas, guiding the reader: (Strong, Satisfactory, Weak). I will rate her strong here, with her generous use of figures and attempt to explain technical words in a layman's terms.
    7. Rate the paper on Mechanics: spelling, grammar, punctuation: (Strong, Satisfactory, Weak). I will rate the writer satisfactory. There were a couple of misspellings and grammatical errors.
    8. Overall effectiveness: (Strong, Satisfactory, Weak) and explain why? Overall effectiveness is satisfactory. Even though there were some lapses like grammatical errors, unclear statements etc., the writer was still able to impart knowledge about TCP /IP protocol structures.
