Please choose the correct ending to complete the given sentence: Education and Communications: [header] How to write an author assessment [title] Understand the purpose of your author assessment. [step] Your assessment should never try to change the author's style toward your own style. However, you may have different goals based on the reason you are assessing the author.

Ending1: [substeps] Most authors are solely interested in literature, and generally want creative work. However, parts of the author assessment can be effective for creative authors. Ending2: [substeps] If you are being asked by an unpublished writer to critique their work, you must focus on giving positive critiques as well as identifying areas that need work. If the assessment is being done in a teaching capacity, make the assessment a careful critique that encourages the writer to take a certain direction in their next draft. Ending3: [substeps] If the author you are evaluating does not recommend differing dress codes, your assessment may be unclear. Improving dress codes may also help save you money on grant costs and materials. Ending4: [substeps] Do not force the author to change. If the author is trying to change a style beyond their own, it may be best to write a report.
