How it opens
From a user experience viewpoint, MS Project is extremely easy to use, and it facilitates the production of simple reports. Moreover, the application has a user-friendly interface that simplifies navigation to different features and makes it easier for users to access its inbuilt aspects.

Because of this, it is hard to shift the activities performed in MS Project to other applications that can be integrated with it. There is a distortion of data when work is moved from MS Project to other applications resulting in a loss of reliability.

Using an example well
Read it for how the paper is built, not for wording to reuse: how the introduction frames the question, how each paragraph moves from a claim to evidence, and how sources are cited in APA 6. Submitting any part of it as your own work would be plagiarism, and it is written for a different brief than yours.
