Conclusion

Total	100	87

Overall, I think this paper is on track, but still needs some work. I would read back over the paper and correct any APA mistakes and try to find places where you could remove certain words or add words for flow and comprehension. There are some points that I highlighted in the paper that I think should be revised for wording and try to end paragraphs with preambles to the next so when the paper is read it flows better.
