Instructor’s Comments from previous Assignment:
Julie, The introductory heading should be the exact same as the title of your paper. You have an interesting introduction. However, you need to include a clear thesis statement! Please don’t boldface the “references” heading. Very good comparison of the research questions, sample population, limitations of the study, and recommendations for future research. Interesting conclusion and a very well formatted references list.
