Part 3
Have another classmate edit your paper (with track changes turned on and their full name as initials). Do this by exchanging papers with a member of the other group via Email. Ensure that the changes are TRACKED electronically and that the person commenting uses their own name as initials. When you get back this file save it as_PaperPart3
Part 4
Make a copy of the file from part3. Name it_PaperPart4
