peer assessment for the final research paper

Generally, research paper which I evaluated was prepared in terms of reviewing the literature. But it could have included more information and sources to support the purpose of the paper. In my opinion, this research topic is closely relate with the education, especially in learning and teaching effectively. Because of this, it is an important issue that should be taken into consideration and investigated what are the impacts of the web-based education on both learners and instructors?, and also how do web-based tools help to improve learning and teaching? In this research paper, it is emphasized to the significance of the technology as an instructional tool by stating usage of it in some schools.It could have been highlighted with the broad scanning. In order to develop the content of the research paper, it should be used more sources and given more references. This is the crucial point for well-prepared research paper. Finally, this research paper is viewed as general reviewed, well-organized, and well-phrased. On the other hand it has lack of information and sources. I congratulate Bülent for his topic choice, touching on this issue, and also research paper.

Sometimes, we can have some trouble with regarding not to reach accurate sources or not to meet our expected knowledge from the internet. Most of the time, we aren't able to make out why this happens. This video helps you explore the reason of this and some of you may be surprised like me!
Eli Pariser, in his talks, suggests that as web companies struggle to accommodate their services( including news and search results) to our personal manners. As a result of this, unintended consequences may be pose a threat. We get trapped in a ''filter bubble'' and don't approach to the information what we search. Instead, we expose to information that could challenge or broaden our worldview. So, what do you think about the web companies really do a service according to personal manners and restrict our worldview...
