Rachel Cassada peer editing

1. Is there a clear point of view? (position)
Yes, at first I didn't know what it was, the introduction was a little confusing, but then I understod that the opinion was against high tuition prices
2. Does the Op-Ed state the problem and solution simply?
Yes, it states that the problem is high tuition prices, the solution is to lower prices
3. Does the piece address the counter arguments?
Yes, it addressed the fact that students can get financial aid or loans, and they can go to school close to home to save money.
4. Is the Op-Ed interesting?
Yes, it is interesting, especially for someone who will be going to college in a few years
5. Are the paragraphs organized logically?
Yes, but it might be helpful to have an introduction paragraph to make it clear what your subject is.
6. Does each paragraph develop an idea to support the thesis?
Yes, the first paragraph addresses the arguments against the thesis, the second paragraph shows why these arguments aren't valid, and supports the thesis
7. Is the writing clear?
Yes for the most part, but I would like a little more clarity in the beginning of the first paragraph.
