Thank you for taking the time to share such thoughtful feedback.
The more I reflect on it, the more I realize you’re absolutely right.
I did rely heavily on GPT throughout the process, and it’s clear to me now that this is something I need to take more ownership of. Working on that will naturally help me improve how I source and cite materials as well.
I’m also taking your final piece of advice to heart—exams are coming up, and I know I need to shift my focus there for now. Thanks again for your honesty and encouragement. I really appreciate it.
