Critique Completely Judgment Evaluation Rating Discussion Merits Faults

word critique
definition A judgment or evaluation, especially a rating or discussion of merits and faults.
eg_sentence Whenever he reads his latest story in the fiction-writing seminar, one of the other students always delivers a nasty critique.
explanation Even though criticize means to judge something negatively, a critique can be completely positive—or completely negative. Usually it's somewhere in between. When a paper of yours receives a critique from a teacher, you should read it carefully, and then reread it; getting mad or offended is the worst way to react. Critique is often a verb as well. Thus, writers and artists often form groups solely to critique each other's work, and scientific articles frequently get critiqued in letters to the editor in the following issue of the journal.
