Casey, please see the feedback within your paper and in the scoring rubric. Describe the chosen research topic. You made a good start, but did not fully address all the below parts detailed in the instructions and grading criteria. Remember, come up with a specific subject you want to study? In other words, what about your topic do you want to study? What is it about the topic that interests you the most? Evaluate how each article relates to your topic. 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. Please work on avoiding copying from your sources. You can't earn credit for plagiarized material. Please see what I attached below. It will help explain the grade you received. Please work on correcting the writing errors throughout your paper. See the examples I gave. Carefully review the Grading Rubric (Links to an external site.) for the criteria that will be used to evaluate your assignment. Please let me know if you have any questions, Dr. S
