changes you made.

in each source the most important information
to let the readers know about, and at the end I
tried to evaluate if these sources were
valuable or not and honestly express my
opinion if they were good or not sources to be
used or not.

all the format aspects multiple times and I
hope I did present the assignment in a clean
way in order for the reader to have a good
experience reading my assignment.

to have much a better understanding of the
topic you decided at the beginning. Then after
choosing the sources try to show even some
sources that you do not like so in order to give
a full pictures of what you think to be useful
and something else you do not like
