Good criticism includes what four elements?

Being an active listener, making connections, focusing on learning & understanding, and giving good reasons for your judgments

Focusing on faults and areas for improvement, passing judgement on the communication, clearly expressing your own tastes, and articulating what you would do differently

An opening paragraph describing the communication, a clear statement of your method of criticism, application of that method, and implications for rhetorical theory

Locating key areas for improvement, isolating failures to connect with the audience, counting verbal and physical tics or gaffes, and documenting all of these in detail
