Reflections on my learning experience

I learned three essential guidelines from the tutor's input that I would apply in future assignments:

● I will have to improve my argumentation in all my paragraphs, including the beginning, middle, and finish.

● When referring to in-text citations, I must pay close attention to citations and punctuation.

● I will have to pay close attention to my references to adhere to the Harvard reference syntax.
