Critique #3

Critique #3

Critique #3 will be your second critique involving a peer review. For this critique, you will be reviewing a colleague's map from Lab 4: Color and Choropleth Mapping in Series. During that lab, you put significant thought and effort into classifying your data and applying color - now you will appraise another's work instead of your own. This new perspective is likely to be beneficial to you both while you are writing the critique, and later, when you review the feedback provided to you by one of your peers.

Your assignment includes writing up a 300+ word critique of an assigned classmate’s Lesson 4 Lab (as assigned).

In your written critique please describe:

• three (3) things you think were done well and why,
• three (3) suggestions you have for improvement.

As Lab 4 included three map-pair map layouts as the deliverable, the best way to approach this critique is to write about one well-done element and one suggestion for improvement for each pair of maps. You may stray slightly from this format if you are particularly interested in one of the map pairs (layouts), but, please, at least briefly mention all map pairs in your critique.

Your critique should be as much about reflecting upon things well-done as it is about suggesting improvements to be made. In your discussion, you should connect your ideas back to concepts in Lesson Four; you may also reference concepts from earlier lessons where relevant.

Please list the student name of the map you have been assigned at the top of the page.
