feedback to other researchers.. To experience this process,, you are also expected to be
discussants for one of your
classmates

a few points of the
strength of the research,, and areas of limitations where improvement can be made.. Let’s give
constructive feedback,, where you can also suggest a possible way forward with improvements..
