Peer Evaluation 1: John McDowell Inquiry Essay


Does the rhetorical situation address the key audience concerns (demographics, stance, publication)? Is this a realistic academic audience?

People that need rapid inter-organizational communication- second to second basis (more im-esque) high-ranking officers with different technical terminology & language differences.  Addressing a current problem


What about the introduction makes you want to keep reading? Does it introduce the topic/issue and establish exigence? Describe the exigence. Is the exigence personal (relating to the writer as an individual) or is it about wider public and social concerns that the audience might research?

Begin with a narration that demonstrates the problem and establishes the importance that lack of immediate communication poses. 

What inquiry question does the essay pose for the audience to consider? Does the draft pose no questions or too many directions for readers? Are the inquiries open-ended?

How communication between public serving organizations affected by today’s trends of more information, sent faster, and in brief segments?


How does this topic relate to Writing in a Wireless World? Does this essay relate to the course theme?

Modes of communication
