From examining my originality report, I see that online plagiarizing checking can be quite strict. For example, they thought the date I assigned my paper was from CNN.

Overall, I am happy with my first critical essay. I received an ‘A’. My title was good and I was quick to introduce my sources. Something I need to work on is knowing when to underline and italicize articles and various other sources. I hope to continue the streak of a good writing technique!
