Reading the fines it is easy to recognize that many of the fines were based upon the leaking packages, that is observation not analysis. Saying that some percentage of the total number fines represented leaking packages is analysis; saying that most of the incidents were caught by ground handling personnel is observation, saying that a specific percentage of all of the fines represent cases where ground handling personnel identified the problem is analysis. You are required to do analysis. After analysis provide answer to the following questions.

Learning APA format is difficult; you are not expected to catch everything the first time!
Discussion 2: Peer-Review Process Feedback
In general, when one researches what helps students learn APA format, the sources usually suggest a lot of practice. You will be expected to put your main Discussion responses and Assignments in APA format in all of your graduate courses, so you will, indeed, get this practice. Peer reviews are also noted as one way to effectively receive feedback.
Reflect on the process of receiving, as well as providing, constructive feedback.
With these thoughts in mind:
Post by Day 4 an explanation of the process that you followed in order to provide feedback to your partner. What did you learn about APA format or the Publication Manual as a result of this exercise? Do you feel the references that were cited were scholarly sources of information for the paper? Why or why not? What did you learn from the feedback that you received that will improve your APA-format writing style?
Read a selection of your colleagues’ postings.
Respond by Day 6 to at least two colleagues by providing an example or personal experience that illustrates one of the points made by your colleagues.
