Feedback for student

Kimberly,
thanks for submitting your work on time. The title and reference slides need to be set up and formatted just like in an essay (APA format). Many of your slides are way too congested. Keep them organized and simple, then elaborate on the speaker notes. Some speaker notes are rather scarce. Use more relevant information. APA format and style need to improve.
Several citations are missing and/or not set up correctly. Many speaker notes miss citations. For the objectives of the assignment, use more relevant examples, be precise, and support your work with credible research.
Please review your feedback and let me know if you have questions. I tend to point out an error once or twice. Then it is up to you to apply the feedback and make corrections to your work. You met slide count requirements.
