Review-Live Subject

The basis of a review is critical evaluation.  Student Writing Coach (SWC) Review-Live Subject is suitable for writers assigned to evaluate a subject experienced directly by attendance or participation.

What's involved?

  • SWC asks questions about your experience, your estimation of the subject's strengths and weaknesses, and your recommendation to readers.
  • It includes options for comparing the subject, relating course work, commenting on other reviews, and referring to sources.
  • It offers a choice of introductions. 
Is SWC's Review-Live Subject right for you?
  1. Does your assignment ask for an opinion of a live subject that you experienced by attendance or participation--a play, event, exhibition, speaker, workshop, performance, concert, dance, course, program, or the like?
  2. Does your assignment contain words like review, recommend, evaluate, examine, critique, assess, estimate, inspect, appraise, study, judge, rate, or rank?
"Yes" to both questions? Excellent. Select SWC's Review.- Live Subject. 

"No" to both? Consider Review-Recorded Subject or Report.
