Was the writing clear? The writing was clear, the researcher wanted to find a way to create a valid and reliable instrument to measure teacher perceived barriers to the adoption of games and simulations in instruction.

Was there anything I would have done differently? Because of the data collected by the researcher the teachers, believed it would have been more effective if there was more time to implement the product.

Strengths: The researcher had experience in teaching a hybrid course which give the reader more of an insight of what the force of the research would be. Computer literacy was the forces for the researcher, as an educator the researcher wanted other educators to be confrontable using computers in different settings.
Was the writing clear? Because the researcher gave a background about the research on test anxiety, some of the writing was hard to follow. As a reader with little to no knowledge about educational technology many of the terms used did not make sense to me. However, I do not think the researcher could have done the dissertation without the historical information because there was a lot of information on the topic being researched.
Was there anything I would have done differently? The introduction was a lot to read because of the historical background given by the researcher. I am not sure if it could have been done differently because of the topic itself. However, because of all of the citations, it was hard to follow at times.
What did you learn? The researcher wanted to learn more about the amount of test anxiety educators have in an educational technology society.
