Feedback from professor to complete assignment: 

The approach to be taken is to read the articles and synthesize the ideas from among them in order to come to a conclusion. I saw an attempt at synthesizing the ideas in the second paragraph, so that was good. Your selection of articles is good. But for next week, it would be best to focus in on one area. I have some concerns with the grammar. In order to get your ideas across clearly, and they are good ideas, my suggestion is to either have someone proofread the writing.
