FEEDBACKS

Week 1:

Ms.Jinchi said geometric shapes is a good topic and to research more on it and find more ruther readings and gave some suggestions.  

Week 2:
Ms.Jinchi said my topic, white space was interesting. However she suggested on researching from another angle, looking at Space from another angle and research on how it should not always be white to indicate space.

Week 3:

After looking at my second draft Ms.Jinchi asked me to make changes to my problem statement. She asked to define the second line of paragraph 1. She also suggested starting reading journals and articles. Change the reference to Apa and to use various styles to cite.
