This is what the teacher said about my last paper

Your marketing ideas and content is mostly solid. Issues with your paper has to do with missing some elements and not following APA guidelines and a major issue with your reference and citations (intentional or accidental plagiarism). I’m to report each incident, even if you accidentally did not use in-text citations – still plagiarism). I need to see this corrected for your next paper or will need to report.

I added my previous papers for you to see the company the company that I have choosen and use to assist you in the writing process and a Template for the way the instructor wants the next paperto be done.
