, please see the feedback within your paper and in the scoring rubric.

 

Important: I found that your paper has some parts that are similar to your Turnitin report and are not in your own words.  Even more important, by not citing and quoting your sources in correct APA format, it can be considered plagiarized. These parts are highlighted in yellow within your paper.  You can't earn credit for plagiarized material. This affected, not only the criteria areas they were found, but written communication, APA format, and related areas.
