Please read the paper and try the software, and then send an email with your conclusions about the following:

Correctness: It is, of course, a requirement that the paper be mathematically correct. Any discussion of technology, pedagogy, or other issues should also be checked for accuracy. Please note any areas that you were unable (either due to limits on your time or your background) to check for accuracy.

Significance: Does the paper present interesting new ideas? Note that a new presentation of old material using online resources can be both interesting and new if it will make the readers think about the old material in a new way, or if it illustrates a new approach to presenting the material to students. Is this paper likely to spark new thoughts for the readers of JOMA?

Appropriateness: While we have no set policy at this time, the name JOMA implies that both mathematics and online resources of some form should be important to the paper. In addition, JOMA is aimed at the general membership of MAA. While it is perfectly appropriate for a paper to be aimed at a specific slice of that membership (teachers of combinatorics, for example), the paper shouldn't be something of interest to only a small group of researchers.

Usability: Is any software sufficiently user-friendly? Is it easily available? Were there difficulties downloading, installing, or accessing the software?

Recommendation: Do you recommend the paper be:

(a) Accepted as is (possibly with a few typos corrected)

(b) Accepted with revisions

(c) Returned for revisions

(d) Rejected

Obviously, you should recommend a good and polished paper be accepted as is. You should recommend that good paper that just needs some small corrections be accepted with revisions. Recommend a paper be returned for revisions if it has a core of a good idea but needs substantial rewriting and will need to be looked at again after revision. Recommend rejection for papers that are incorrect, uninteresting, or inappropriate for JOMA.

Please be as precise as you can about how the paper should be revised. Revisions can be as small as clearing up a confusing paragraph or suggesting that several sections be rewritten to emphasize some aspect of the material.

It would be a service to the author and editor if you would note any typographical errors or software bugs encountered during your review. Your comments will be shared anonymously with the author. Thank you for all your help.
