Additional comments: Really need to refocus the paper to what you’re trying to prove as the author. Include current and factual data, using in-text citations to help support your data. Mostly, make sure that you do not lose focus in your topic, it makes it very difficult for your audience to follow along and see the hypothesis you are trying to prove. | ||||||
