Corrections

The major problem I noticed was on the last question. the question went as thus;

In one statement, what is the major significance of the transfers in question 4.

After successfully performing the transactions in question 4, the major significance would simply be that we gained absolute ownership of our assets.

Observations and Suggestions

Relevance:
Good research always relates to the overall topic. I encourage creativity but it is important that the students stick to the overall topic when they write. Anything that does not relate to the topic or questions asked will just be noise and frankly, the professor might not bother going though it.

Conciseness:
This week, there were a lot of bogus entries that did not really score well. Some of these entries just had repetitions or irrelevant content that did not really make a difference. The fact is that a simple piece of work is always the best as long as it says it all. The students should learn to communicate facts in simple and straightforward terms. A lengthy piece of work is honestly frustrating especially when it is either difficult to understand or lacks facts. A simpler work, however, saves time and encourages the professor. Don't beat around the bush!

Illustrations & Creativity:
There is a reason why professors make lessons with pictorial illustrations. Images give a special visual effect that improves learning. On this note, I would like to ask the students to try to add illustrations to their work. In the process of that they should be as creative as possible with their illustrations.

Originality:
For me, the biggest problem going through tasks is reading the same content over and over again. It seems like nobody is willing to put in the work anymore. A lot of students just google the topic and paraphrase content from different sites. This act is very wrong. It is better to try and understand the topic and then explaining it in your terms. Like I always say, these things make a difference. Don't be scared to Stand out!
