This is where you will complete your peer review exercise. Please use the following template to fill out your review.
Guiding questions:
- Has the Lead been updated to reflect the new content added by your peer? While she hasn't changed a lot from the original article, what she has added works with what was there.
- Does the Lead include an introductory sentence that concisely and clearly describes the article's topic? It starts off pretty well describing what the article is about.
- Does the Lead include a brief description of the article's major sections? It does have the content box, but other than that not really.
- Does the Lead include information that is not present in the article? A little, the lead mentions perfect audio receptors but doesn't mention it again.
- Is the Lead concise or is it overly detailed? It is fairly concise.
Overall I think the lead is pretty good.
