Prof Garcia's Comments

This is a really interesting topic, Cristhiel! But you need to only focus on the sociological theories of love in this class. You can do other research if you wish, but you must focus on the sociological aspects. So create a new subheading on the article's page and make sure your research draws from the sociological literature. There's lots there! Please meet with Sarah Hammill for her to help you find adequate sources. Alfgarciamora (talk) 14:41, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Week 6: A good step forward, Cristhiel, but you really need to focus on the sociology of love. There is a book called Modern Romance that is by Aziz Ansari and a sociologist: that could be a fun book to start with to find more research. But make sure that you add a SOCIOLOGICAL THEORIES OF LOVE section to this page. Alfgarciamora (talk) 13:03, 12 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Dorry92: I am worried about your progress here, Cristhiel. Please take the time to look at the sociological work on love and develop that more fully. As I mentioned in my previous comments, there is a book by Ansari and also a book by Anne Swidler that should be very relevant. Alfgarciamora (talk) 21:02, 4 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Peer review

I noticed a couple of grammar and spelling mistakes I found typing out my work in a word document first then pasting it makes it easier. To tie it to sociology I would focus on how relationships form in social settings such as work place, schools, clubs, etc. Maybe write about how people meet and what attracts them to each other. What social settings are people more open and accessible? The difference between men and women when it comes to love and dating. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dominiquejrivera (talk • contribs) 22:35, 18 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Dorry92! I agree with the other peer reviews and with Professor Garcia's comments. Check your spelling and overall grammar! I know a lot of us are used to texting and not capitalizing words like "I". But you need to get into the habit of doing this. Specially when you know that other people may and will read whatever you write. If you want to pass on knowledge, then you have to write properly at all times. Is a must! As far as content, try to think of love from a sociological and psychological point of view. For example, try to find out how society and our psychological needs influence Robert Sternberg's concepts of Intimacy, Passion and Commitment. How has society's rules and norms influence the way men and women think and feel about love? And based on this, what assumptions or theories have been made or developed? To tell you the truth, this article is a double-edged sword, you may brake it or make it. The fact that this article page is practically blank leaves a lot of room for creativity. My advice would be for you to get in touch with Sarah Hammill, she will guide you in the right direction as far as sources. Read, read and read those sources; once you have comprehended the readings, let your imagination run as to what you want to do with this blank page. Finally, do not procrastinate! Good luck with your article. Milo estevez (talk) 02:38, 19 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Draft Review

Hello, I think you have a weak draft here. I found myself having trouble going through each of my resources, skimming all the information available, and figuring out wwhat exactly needed to go where. What i suggest is that you add some more information to your draft, write it as if you were already getting ready to start editing the article itself. Make sure you keep a neutral tone and your citations are correct. Another thing I found myself doing was not using some of the citations i previously had put down but instead found better ones by looking into my sources works cited page. (Professor Garcia mentioned this) . What helped me as well was looking at the peer review module we had to complete because it helped me with my article. I used it as a check list of what to do and not to do. Get to work on this asap the workload is only accumulating! @Dorry92:
