Here is what someone did for me last week ( week 6)
Tuan,
Thanks for getting this in.
Please consult your notes on when and how to cite APA-style, as we’ve talked about at length in class and as I have written to you requesting since the beginning of the term. As we’ve noted in class, education is too broad a topic to be manageable in a modest, five- to seven-page paper.
You will need to spend some time composing a thesis statement that goes beyond the ordinary. That education is important is already well established, not to mention a sure cure for insomnia in terms of reader interest and appeal. Your thesis should arise from a carefully narrowed down topic and your specific, compelling observation of just one narroe aspect of the topic.
Here is an example of a narrowed-down topic that is both manageable and capable of advancement: Cooperative Learning at the College Level
Here is an example of a well-honed research topic and question: Addressing the Needs of Underprepared Students in Higher Education; Does College Remediation Work?
Take a moment to appreciate that the examples I’ve provided above are actually titles. Recall how all term I have encouraged ENG111 group members to device such titles. See how full of clear, direct, pertinent information these are? Do that.
As your expressed ideas stand right now, it is difficult to see the emergence of a paper suitable to your expert reading audience. While these research tasks have a variety of objectives, your primary goal in this project is to inform the reader, teach me something new.
Currently, your language is rather abstract and your ideas are not approaching the necessary, distinct components of a debatable thesis assertion or proposition.
At one point you reference an — authorless — article “Commitment to Privacy,” though it is unclear what point you are making. However, the title does suggest a possible, specific, alternative focus. Do a little quick research on something called FERPA (also known as the Buckley Amendment). I think you’ll find what you discover quite interesting. See if your search results give you fresh ideas for a narrow topic that you can better control. Were this fleshed out into something much more developed — even an alternative option for your research focus — it could work quite well. As you do further reading and approach your final choice of the angle of your argument, one decisive factor will be whether you will be able to amass sufficient, authoritative, researched material to substantiate your perspective.
Looking at the quality of your current sources, as you continue to do research and identify more sources of information, please make an effort to favor recent, scholarly studies done for academic journals over the first search results. One easy way to differentiate between the two is by examining the titles and language used.
Non-ordinary ideas act as hooks that excite and lure a reader’s interest. In a college composition course — and in other university-level writing — we strive to discover lesser-known facts and ideas to better serve the reader and to make all of our efforts worthwhile.

PS — Please go read my feedback on your Task 5 page. I have reset that assignment to DRAFT (not submitted) status to enable you to submit a task 5 in alignment with the guidance provided.

Importance of Education
Topic
My topic is importance of education. My interest on the importance of education started with seeing how young people take education for granted(“Education should not be taken for granted, students should value their time in classes”, 2019).
