Overall evaluation

I think that this page gives a lot of really good and detailed content. I do wish that some more images were added to help visual learners. I personally think the history of the page is quite long, as opposed to the current theories and learning, but I understand that it shouldn't be cut down on, rather we need more information to be given to the second half of the article. I really thought this article was an interesting topic though.

Peer review letter posted to the talk page of Educational Psychology:
"I hate to admit this, but I originally was not terribly interested in this topic. However, I found it very interesting and insightful! I did find the history was quite long as opposed to the rest of the article, but as I read through I found that history was where all of this information came to fruition. One critique I had was to add more visual imagery if possible. I think that it can really highlight a topic and it provides us as readers something to look for in our own lives. I think that this is an incredibly important topic and I can't wait for further information to be added and updated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 10658513uvu (talk • contribs) 21:00, 18 October 2019 (UTC)"

Overall evaluation

I enjoyed this article, however I think that it is lacking in information specifically about suggestibility. While Hypnosis can be a factor in suggestibility, I wish that there was more information about other circumstances where suggestibility could come into play.

Peer review letter posted to the talk page of Suggestibility:
I really like this article! I think that it is well formatted and well written with the information that is available. I would say that I think that some history behind Suggestibility could be added as there is really nothing listed on the article currently. This would provide more sources as well, and could provide a background that could be referenced for current practices. I also think that images and some visual aspect could really enhance your article! I think that you guys will do a great job on this article, and I look forward to how it is formatted and updated.

 * This article has all of the information present, and from what I could tell was not missing any information that it had in the introduction.

Overall evaluation


I though the article looked really nice, I think that it in ways is over informative, but really that is a personal preference and for Wikipedia, this is a good thing. I think all of the information is up to date thanks to the recent use and updates to Virtual Reality.

Peer review letter posted to the talk page of Virtual Reality:
I found this article to currently be the most well informed and articulated! I have always found Virtual Reality interesting and I think this article was up to date and has plenty of information about the topic. One thing that I think could really add to this article are more images. I am a visual learner so I am very excited when I see all the images on the Wikipedia pages. I think that there is a lot of information to go over and look through to add and update this page! - Tonilynn Ludwig
