Based on the bipartisan groups, we can observe that our extraordinary system is a result of a perpetual party struggle. There is no clear winner, and the tiebreaker cannot separate a 50/50 decision between both the two.
A category called “Feedback Please” is used to let the professor know that a piece of writing is noteworthy. It is typically used after the initial assessment when you would like to make improvements and resubmit it in an effort to receive a higher grade.
-There is a difference between citing a resource and providing background information. We employ informal in-text citation in this course (APA Style). information like the journal’s name and the author.

The goal is to incorporate the material from the source into your sentences while maintaining a smooth flow that will keep the reader interested throughout the in-text reference.
