Here are a few things to look for when giving feedback on the Smoking Investigation report:

1. Were the W’s addressed in the paper?
2. How did the person demonstrate that a linear model is appropriate?
3. Are graphs labeled and understandable?
4. Was the model described in context and written using proper notation?
5. Do any predictions made using the model look reasonable?
