Are My Paragraphs Effective?

I have created a copy of my QRG for paragraph analysis. In this document, I analyze each paragraphs focus, development, organization, coherence, and transition. I learned my overall strengths and weaknesses in paragraph formation.
My Quick Reference Guide paragraphs almost never have a concrete transition. I honestly don't know if this is bad or good for paragraphs in QRGs. It seems to me that this shouldn't matter as much because the Guide is broken down into multiple sections that are clearly labeled, and that these sections follow a general flow. It also seems like QRGs don't heavily rely on transitions, and the idea of a concrete transition may not fit into the genre. However, I can also understand that transitions can be helpful to the reader and create a smooth flow from one section to the next.
A definite strength of my paragraphs is that they are all in the appropriate sections, and for the most part are well-formed. They all contribute to the topic of my QRG, and provide the reader with context.
Some of my paragraphs seem a bit short and may need more definite examples from sources to support their main points. This is definitely a pitfall because any paragraph should fulfill its purpose.
