Institutional culture and quality teaching should be considered together, as there is an important relationship between institutional culture and teaching (Stein, 1997). T
goodness, is that what that article was saying?
-
shared value
do we have shared values? is this measured?
-
a culture with improved teaching quality is likely to lead to improved student engagement and learning
this makes an assumption that we are teaching "good" things. what about a business course that ignores climate change? or a sociology course that doesn't mention intersectionality? is this important to consider? must we implicitly trust that we are teaching towards a common goal?

bases of power and influence
what is this
-
Bauman 1989: 167
citing this unethical study is the academic equivalent example of power. should be looking at the power the researcher exerts not the prison guards
-
An escalatory chain of eventsoccurred; the construed authority of the guards was enforced by the submis-siveness of the prisoners, tempting the guards to further and increasingly ille-gitimate displays of the power that their authority allowed them to exercise,leading to further humiliation of the prisoners
isn't this used as reasons for informed consent in the ethics process. does that make this a bad example?

Haney, Banks, and Zimbardo (1973) designed anexperiment that resonates with government practices that are accepted as nor-mal and routine in many societies

awkward. Did the public opinion reflect the institutions or was it merely the public opinion of the institutions?

By using archaeological evidence of the exchange of certain European goods

-
as it circumvents some of the intrinsic problems that come with relying on heavily mediated records in the form of missionary/settler journals and letters
Great point
-
This directly contravenes the common assumption that European goods superseded Aboriginal trade networks
I like this sentence for its clarity.

Salisbury
Is this chapter 1, the fur trade? I can't find the Salisbury article.
-
in an effort to actively navigate the changes of 1830-1870 as the expansion of Canada’s borders and white settler communities reshaped cultural and economic practices and marginalized Métis populations
Perhaps this could be a new sentence. I don't like long sentences I lose my train of thought.
-
Complementary to these historians’ arguments, the primary sources, including Norbert Welsh’s memoir and several photographs, provided evidence of the impact of these societal changes as well as the diverging interests of white settlers and the Métis
Great sentence: good sourcing, evidence-based claims and links to the previous sentence nicely.
-
Métis migration, shifting cultural norms, the influence of white women, and the Métis resistance led by Louis Riel
I like how this gets right to the point.
-
The analyses of the three historians, Sylvia Van Kirk, Gerhard Ens and Gerald Friesen
Again, I appreciate this proper citing
-

unncecessary
-
The primary and secondary sources contained in Chapter 8 of the Visions text, The Métis and Red River Society: Change, Adaptation, and Resistance -1830’s to 1870s
Yes, including the source. Great!

distinguishing features
such as? Give some concrete examples. There is actually nothing being said here.
-
Through an analysis of the viewpoints of three different historians and primary documents based on education and mental institutions and the ways in which reform was sought to improve them, it becomes clear that there are several key concepts that connect these types of reform together through distinguishing features.
Is this an example of a passive voice?
Reworded:
Three historians analyses of primary documents highlight several key concepts that connect educational and mental institutional reforms.
-
Through an analysis of the viewpoints of three different historians and primary documents based on education and mental institutions and the ways in which reform was sought to improve them, it becomes clear that there are several key concepts that connect these types of reform together through distinguishing features
This sentence is too long. It annoys me how many times I had to read it to understand what's being said here.
-

"good" in what way? structurally? or content-wise? Both?
-
But even such a little amount was necessary to secure the family
What does this mean?

She argues that although women were still limited in employment opportunities, they too provided goods and services that were important to society.
I like writing like this. Clear and to the point.
