Group 1 started really well a strong abstract. The abstract was very clear and concise and stated the right amount of information. They had good organization of their paper and it seemed to flow well. There were a couple of awkward transitions for me, when it would go from third person to first person, but I put a comment where I saw those. I enjoyed how colorful the images were. They added a nice pop to the paper. There was a bunch of new information in the conclusion that I felt should be else where in the paper. Simply, because typically you don't want to put new information in a conclusion.

I liked that this group started with a cover page. I think the cover page makes it more professional. They had an awesome title that makes you want to read the paper. Obviously, the paper is above the word count. I think that they could utilize an appendix to help lower the word count. The paragraphs about the resisting and shear force and those equations, could go in the appendix. I thought the conclusion especially was well written. The paper overall was really well written and you can tell they know what they are talking about, which makes it harder to get a low word count. There is a lot of detailed descriptions of certain things in the paper that could be changed to make the word count lower.

It is clear that this group knows what they are talking about. They have good information and a lot detail. This paper is over word count and I think that is due to the amount of detail in the paper. Maybe try editing some of the specific details out. I think a more descriptive title would help the paper. They have all the information they need to fully answer each question, but I think a different format is needed. It doesn't read as a final paper, it reads as just someone answering a list of questions. A long with that the format of the images was confusing to me. Putting the figures in text will help the reader understand the figures more and make the paper read better. I was also confused by the figure number and figure captions. I had a hard time understanding which figure was what number. I would also add more references, you guys had a lot of information in this paper, but only two references.

This paper did a great job answering all of the questions in a clear and concise way. I am not sure what the exact word count is but it seemed to me, that it was about the right length. I liked the headings that were used to break sections up, they were unique and clearly thought out. I think the title could be a little more descriptive. As far as the figures, I noticed that they were not really referenced in the text, they just kind of appeared at the end of each section. Adding more details about images to help explain them to the authors would make the paper stronger. I think adding a more defined conclusion would also make the paper stronger. You have awesome suggestions at the end but the paper abruptly ends and it leaves more wanting more closure to your thoughts. Also the list of references should be in APA or MLA format.

The abstract of this paper is well done and is a good summary of the paper. This paper does exceed the word count limit. There is a lot of great information in this paper, but almost too much. I think it could be cut down on the detail to help lower the word count. Also the use of an appendix might help, especially with the information about forces and stress. I really liked some of the images especially number 1 and 5, but they were very similar and maybe not both of them are needed. Figure 8 was a little confusing to me, so I personally could use more detail for that image. The conclusion was well written for this paper. It wrapped up the paper nicely.
