paragraph one in this background of the problem is meet it's better in this paragraph the researcher describe more about

students ability in generating ideas in argumentative writing.

the hypothesis alternative was clear enough but, it's better the researcher give a theories in this part.

the hypothesis null was clear enough i suggest, it's better the researcher give a theories in this part
in this case it is not explained what kind of research is The research design should explain the type of research that
carried out directly into the division of experiment and will be carried out
control class
for the design already explained in the study

In this case, the researcher does not explain why the tie It should be explained whether this is suitable for answering
from this research is suitable for answering questions questions or testing hypotheses

in this study no design drawings were made should be given a desing image so that it is clear what kind of
design medel we use

here clearly explained ready sample and population the sample and population should be explained in the research
so that they know who will be the object to experiment
the number of samples has been explained in the study in this study explain the sample size

in this study explained that using sratified random it should provide an argument for why the researcher chose
sapling but the argument is not explained why choosing this technique
this technique
It is not explained here that the sampling procedure only in the study, it is only explained by the research presoder that
explains the sample size the sampling procedure is not explained

here explained using a written test, the data will be if you do a written test, the data will be obtained in the form of
obtained in the form of grades grades
here it is explained by using argumentative essay Argumentative essays are test models that are also studied in
writing class
here is not explained why to choose the instrument should explain choosing it

the type of data obtained is in the form of grades usually the data that we will get
because it uses a written test
here is not explained the reasons for choosing an should explain choosing it
instrument
here is not explained the reasons for choosing an
instrument
should explain choosing it
the researcher explain the procedure. should explain more detail

in this research, the researcher describe the descriptive its better for the researcher if she/he include the steps, even
statistics,and also the formula but not include the steps. though he/she said that the way is using SPSS.

the researcher describe the formula clearly, and he/she its better if the researcher add the sreenshot of the SPSS to
also include the steps make the steps more clear
the researcher state the steps, but she/he doesn't add it would better if the researcher state the formula.
some formula on the beginning explain the steps
the researcher directly come to him/her conclusion it would be better if the researcher explain the steps to analyze
about the formula, its not seem there are a steps in the the linearity
state.
the explanation almost good, the researcher explain the my suggestion, it would be very good if the researcher addd
formula and also the steps. some picture or maybe the screenshot how to run the steps
that he/she has explain.
in this research, I can not found any references that its beter if the researcher make the references first
wrote by the researcher
in this research, I can not found any references that its beter if the researcher make the references first
wrote by the researcher
the researcher not include the references its beter if the researcher make the references first

the researcher not make the references, so I can't detect its beter if the researcher make the references first
which the researcher use APA style or not
in this research, I can not found any references that its beter if the researcher make the references first

in this research, I can not found any references that its beter if the researcher make the references first
wrote by the researcher

The researcher include the grid of pre test and post test its better if the researcher unclude the references first and after
that she/he can come to the appendix

the researcher describe until kisi-kisi instrument only it would be better if the researcher state clearly what intruments
that she/he use in this research
