Be positive. Point out strengths as well as weaknesses, and be sensitive in how you phrase your criticism ( Could you clarify this section? rather than Your organization is a mess. ) Be honest. Don\u2019t say something works when it doesn\u2019t. You\u2019re not helping the writer if you avoid mentioning a problem. Be specific. Rather than simply saying a paragraph is confusing, for example, try to point to a specific phrase that confuses you and, if possible, explain why that phrase is problematic. Focus on one or two major areas for revision \u2013 it is not your job to completely edit the paper, but instead to focus on major flaws and offer suggestions.
