Reflection of Peer Feedback

I really like the new format of roundtable to discuss our studies. It enables us to receive much more peer feedbacks than before. And we also have more interaction with our peers. Here are some valuable feedback from peers and instructor:

1.   Based on the data collected and due to the constrain of research method, it's better rephrase the first and second research question. For example, change the first research question from "How do online instructor perform when providing feedback?" to "What do online instructors do when they providing feedback?"  
2.   Rephrase the sub-headings of literature review section. Avoid using heading such as "Define Online Learning".
3.   I should have more citations and references for the literature review part.
4.   It's better to use tables/charts to summarize the statistic part of the findings. It will be easier for the audience to understand.
5.   It would be better to use pseudonym name for the participants in findings and discussion part so that the audience can match statements with participants, which they cannot do when the author just use "a participant" or "one of the instructors" to represent the participants.
6.   It's important to have a conclusion part after "Discussion" so that the audience won't get lost in all the findings and discussions.
7.   Avoid using indirect quote or citation. It's always better to use first hand resource when it's possible.
8.   I should explain and cite the terminologies that the audience might not be familiar with, such as "interview survey", "cognitive interview", and "constant comparative method", etc.
I really appreciate all the comments, suggestions, and questions from my peers and instructor.
