Proffessor Comments on Rearch paper attached

Kristie,

Congratulations on moving ahead with your project.

The content of this portion should adhere to the requirement of a minimum of 3 or 4 developed paragraphs in which you state your ideas. Remember that this is the minimum, so more development is needed in this major portion of the paper.  In this particular section, the purpose is to defend your thesis; for this reason you do not mention the con side of your argument, as was done in the review of literature.   Also, your added in text citations are to add some source support for your ideas.

The organization includes all portions of the paper.

The writing demonstrates an acceptable  use of standard written English.

The reference page is included and in text citations are included.  There are minor uncorrected errors in APA.  Please consult The CSU Citation Guide and/or  http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl.

Your work demonstrates an understanding of the body portion of the paper.  Keep up the effort.  CRC
