2. Well-written:

Rating: 6,5

a)It is well written. However, I think a lot of the text are citated.

b) comprehensive: it neglects no major facts or details and places the subject in context. Rating: …… (6,5) It is a bit too detailed. I think it would have been better to put the summary in the first and afterwards a thorough explanation.

The explanation is clear, but I think it could have been done with less words.

a) it provides references to all sources of information following the APA guidelines; Rating: …… (8) Comments: There is a reference in the text.

There one refererence within the text. But seen the difficulty of the text at some places, I wonder wheter the text have been citated or not.
