Spoiler alert: It benefits both nature and humans! </p><p><br></p><p><strong>Peer Review Instructions:</strong></p><p>1) Personal Strengths + Weakness</p><p>I think my project has a very strong, well-resourced back-bone, however, I was unable to communicate where I got all my sources from within the time limit given.</p><p>Another strength I see in the project is engagement. I spoke quite fast and moved from subject to subject which keeps my audience engaged and listening.</p><p>A weakness is that I was unable to insert my interview clip within my main project which is unfortunate because Dr. Gutberlet has great insight into this topic!</p><p>2) Helpful Peer Feedback + Tone</p><p>Ask questions on anything that might have been unclear or confusing while I was speaking. Additionally, issues or suggestions to improve the quality of content is appreciated. Are there any sections or times that felt unnecessary and need to be cut?</p><p><br></p><p>Unfortunately, I was unable to squeeze all the resources I used to create my project in this bio.
