For Abdul:
This project focused on comparing the benefits of home and hospital birth. In the project you support home birth as a good alternative for hospital birth. You also show other people's opinions and education about home birth.
As someone that doesn't support the home birth movement, the way you presented information, as well as the range of sources created a pretty persuasive paper.
This paper matters to me because it advocates for home birth, which is basically the opposite of my project. It is nice to read what some other people think on the same issue.
Bianca said some of what you wrote was cliche, but as Andy will soon realize cliches make the world go round. Keep the cliches, but watch out for grammar mistakes, and keeping your ideas easy to follow.
For Beatrice:
Your project consisted of a SOF "I plan" video about student's (and wex) future plans. This coinsides with an informative article about planned parenthood and the government's plans to cut funding. It discusses that the bases for these cuts is not what Planned Parenthood is about.
This project was the best written, most creative, and over best post I've read so far. What I valued the most was taking a big, real world issue and taking it back and connecting it to the school and students around us.
This matters to me because it educated me on what Planned Parenthood is, and what it does, but it didn't stop there. This project justified why Planned Parenthood deserves funding and how many people it helps.
For Lucas:
This project involved sharif and yourself exploring two hospitals, as well as interviewing a wide variety of students at Hunter.
I wish the video had sound so I could understand what was being said in the video.
I do appreciate the perseverance and creativity that was involved in this project. This project is significant to me because you interviewed college students, who are supposed to be one level up on the learning food chain from us. It made it possible to compare knowledge about this major aspect of living that I have to these supposedly educational superiors.
I think something that would have been interesting for you to do is to interview older people and compare it to the younger college students responses.

From Jose; hunter college student:
I found this article very informative as well as interesting. I had no idea that the percentage of C-sections was actually so high among doctors. I also didn't know there were only 2 male midwives in the entire United States. It seems like a field that is underpopulated by men and understandably so.
Your article was insightful in getting the basic idea of how many different paths there are to birthing a child, and also in realizing how many people it actually takes in order to give birth to a healthy human life.
Other than the previous comment about font size being to small there is really nothing I would change about this article. It was insightful and well written.
From Lucas; classmate:
Hey Kevin,
I found your project very interesting and relevant because it was also the topic I began to research for HW 41. I agree that doctors definitely should not be cut out of the system, their job is actually necessary in emergencies/complications, but midwives should be used in non-dangerous births.
You obviously did a lot of research and I really like the question/answer format because it is easy to pick up. The only criticism I have at the moment is the font size, it's way too small for the amount of writing you did.
From Leon; Dad:
Well written article, you backed up your points with research very well. I absolutely agree in a perfect world the combination of the three different birth providers would be ideal.Midwives and Doulas are certainly a nice way to go if there are no complications. But doctors are an absolute necessity if something goes wrong.
The only real thing that stood out was there was no definition to an abc birth.
From Amhara:
This was a very good topic to write about and you had a very interesting approach. Your ideal birthing system sounds very beneficial but if OBs have a different outlook on birth than I believe that would always cause a conflict between them.
They should each study more on each others practices so they know who is needed and when. Many midwives have a good grasp on this but, as you said, most OBs look at pregnancy as another one of their medical procedures because they are not even required to look at a home birth. A question I would ask is if the lower maternal and infant mortality rate provided by midwives is due to the small amount of midwife attended births in this country (9%). I know that in other industrialized countries this isn't a case, but the population of these other countries are also generally healthier due to their better health care regimens.
