Meeting #6: Criterion-Based Feedback

There was little distress in the meeting because, as it turns out, most of the comments we have received have been criteria based. We came up with questions similar to previously asked ones, but new that dealt with the style and other qualities of our writing. There was no non-fiction so we spent most of our initial discussion time conversing about the criteria for fiction pieces. There was some debate over the legitimacy of the criteria. Some felt that it was too rigid and fiction is to broad a style to be bound with set criteria, while others felt that there could have been more criteria or that some of them could be worded a bit differently. In the end, most comments we gave or revived seem to deal with pace, in fact we all had some issues involving our pieces being too fast.
