For part 3, I have removed the answers in this PowerPoint. Now it’s your turn to format the information on your own. Remember how I said not to cheat your own learning. Yeah, that’s coming in to play now. Do your best to format the information. I will correct the citations when you turn it in.
Oh, and by the way, you will lose points on this part if the citations are not formatted correctly. Good luck.
