===Question 1 · TEXT===
 +
'''Quality of the summary:'''
 +
 +
Does the summary make the key focus, insights and/or contribution of the article clear?
 +
 +
What would you suggest to improve?
 +
 +
===Answer 1===

 +
 +
Suggestion: Focus on the language and check for grammar or spelling errors.

===Question 2 · TEXT===

 +
 +

 +
 +
===Answer 2===
 +
The argument is mostly clear, and the article has mostly a logical flow. The ''Skepticism towards Post-Projects Review'' doesn't fit in ''Big Idea'' and should be rather among ''Limitations''.
 +
The article seems to be consistent. However, some parts are unclear to me: '''Use Project Kick-Off Meetings''' for example. It doesn't state the relation to the topic and isn't even finished.
 +
The text on '''Responsibility of Post-Project Review''' In ''Limitations'' part isn't clear as it doesn't address any constraints or limitations. Arguments are not always entirely clear. (See '''Use Project Kick-Off Meetings''' for instance). 
 +
 +
Suggestion:
 +
 +
Ask yourself: How is this part relevant to the topic (Post-Project Review) when reading individual sections of the article. The location of ''Skepticism towards Post-Projects Review'' should be considered.
 +
 +
===Question 3 · TEXT===
 +
'''Grammar and style:'''
 +
 +
Is the writing free of grammatical and spelling errors?
 +
 +
Is the language precise without unnecessary fill words?
 +
 +
What would you suggest to improve?
 +
 +
===Answer 3===
 +
The writing has many grammatical and spelling errors. The language structure is poor sometimes and can be better.
 +
For example: ''The framework starts by having a kick-off meeting before executing a project, wherein a post-project review are conducted with an experienced facilitator after the end of project. Further on, knowledge brokers from the post-project review informs the kick-off meeting for the project.''
 +
The sentence structure makes it harder to read and understand. Some grammatical errors are presented.
 +
 +
Suggestion:
 +
 +
Have a friend to read the article and outline unclear sections and work on them afterwards. Use a tool for a grammar check (for example Grammarly - available online).
