4.
Examine the way the sources are integrated and how information is used from them.
Which source is the strongest? Why?
Are there any sources that seem less
authoritative, reputable, or useful for the topic?
Price Banks & Vergez (2022) article on “Online and In-Person Learning Preferences during the
COVID-19 Pandemic among Students Attending the City University of New York” is the
strongest evidence used by the Writer. It compares both in-person and online learning during
covid 19 and has been peer-reviewed. It offers more reputable and authoritative evidence. The
less authoritative and reputable source utilized includes the blog article by
Kajeet. (2020) which
looks at
6 challenges to distance learning during the COVID-19 outbreak and tips to overcome
them
.
5.
Did you see the writer doing all three of the following: summarizing, paraphrasing,
and quoting multiple sources? Was it clear when information was being used from a
source, and which information was being used from which source? Are any
corrections needed?
The writer has summarized different articles that bring out the benefits of e-learning and the
demerits of e-learning. Additionally, there are also paraphrasing incidences. However, there are
no direct quotes from the ted-talk or other articles. This is an area that the writer needs to
improve on by quoting and giving the necessary reference.
6.
Were APA citations provided in the text or script?
Are any corrections needed?
You have utilized APA 7
th
edition in referencing and citing. However, you should not put
citations at the end of
paragraphs and you should improve well on citations by looking at these
details

7.
How effective is the project’s organization? Is it clear what the supporting points in
the presentation are? How might the writer strengthen the organization?
The best organization includes an introduction, the body part and a conclusion. I believe that
however much you have done well in the body part, you still need to have a conclusion to
rephrase your thesis and your findings. I believe this link would be helpful

about it and what questions do you have?
