Good job with the tone!

Good job but you need help with the structure.

You need an introduction.

You need to improve the conclusion.

Be creative with the terms. Do not just provide the assignment instructions for each. For example, you do not need “List and define…”

Good job using sectional headings and/or transitional sentences as you move from one topic to another.

Good job but you need help with APA.

Your in-text citations were good. But you need to use more in-text citations. Placement is also important. You should not put a citation in the middle of a paragraph and assume the reader will relate the citation to all the information in the paragraph.

Your reference page was good.
