Upon reading your comments, I have noted the key points and can understand where my writing needs improvement. While reflecting on my graded assignment, I agree that I still struggle with developing clearer sentences along with some punctuation. Therefore, I appreciate the resources that were linked to assist in my understanding of mistakes and ensure proper writing in the future. Also, the information you provided me about the use of source materials was extremely helpful, especially how in some cases using examples compared to quoted material can help create a more meaningful paragraph. After reading the chapters in Unit 3, the information about summarizing and paraphrasing was helpful to learn for my paragraph development skills.
