Talk:The mining industry

Criteria/levels of fulfillment	max points: 10	max points: 5	points: 0	Assessment
Content - quality of resources & well-founded argumentation:		the authors have worked with literature relatively well: real data presented, text is based on extensive list of references but they are not always cited in the text and so statements are not documented by appropriate citations; and so it is not visible whether the essential arguments are based on reliable resources found specifically for this particular research		5
Context	wide context & core of the problem identified: problems understood in their inter-relationships, specific information fits into the whole picture; perceived from different perspectives but supports definite conlusions			10
Practical relevance	combines general principles & driving forces and global features with practical consequences and local context: information about various aspects of the mining industry supports practical conclusions. Some negatives - conclusions are rather general statements, not specified.			8
Focus	strong conclusions: values behind the topic are clear; main problems identified and addressed; balanced structure and critical argumentation supports conclusions			10
Clarity	logical structure of the text: ideas are clear, (every) paragraph declares a separate point; detail adds to the main idea, elements are in the right place. Text is balanced, proper lenght of each part.			10

Comments before finalizing:

n general, it is well written, and the overall structure and logic is quite perfect. You raise many important points, and have an extensive list of resources. Small weakness is that you do not cite them in the text, it is quite needed, as everybody should know where are the data from.

One paragraph is not consistent (you should either leave the CSR out or rather somehow introduce the concept and its usage). But the text is focused and conclusion (SD perspective) quite strong! Of course, it's a pitty we do not see how the system is working in reality, e.g. how efficient is control and measures taken in case environmentall standards are not met.
