Exploration 5 ~ Tej Patel

Part One:  Chapter 5 was full of many important facts about a the topic of writing a review. Reviews are a very common thing in this world and we see them or hear them wherever we travel. A review is basically an evaluation about something. One thing that caught my attention was the four things that are necessary for a perfect evaluation, which are Judgements, Reasons, Criteria, and Evidence. All these four topics go hand in hand. For example when we watch a movie, We judge it wether we liked it or not. And we use reasons and evidence to describe why that movie was great or why that movie was bad. However the judgement process is based of our criteria. We all have our own criteria that we make and our judgements are based of wether it fits our criteria or not. Another thing that I feel like is very important from the reading was the the source of information is critical for a perfect review. To persuade someone based of a review and to make that review effective, It has to include information/evidence from a very reliable source such as personal experience or research on that topic. I believe that the source your information comes from is very important for a review.

Part Two: I read reviews for basically everything. My hobby is photography and I use reviews for that. Whenever I want to get a new camera, I take at least a week to just do research and look at reviews on online retail stores. I also watch review videos on Youtube that help me get a better understanding about which camera I should get. There are many other times I use reviews to see what others think about a specific topic.
