COMMENTS:
Rebecca, You have done a nice job organizing your paper. It is easy to follow and read. That being said, I am concerned by the originality report, as it appears that there are a few sections that are direct quotes from other student’s papers. It is imperative that you accurately cite your sources and ensure that you are not utilizing work that isn’t yours, without giving credit. I would ask that you review the originality report and update your paper accordingly.
