Dear Eduardo,
I believe your work is all right concerning resources citation. I would like only to say something about this sentence: 1 (i.e.,
>the freedom to exercise control over your own
>learning). I think it would be better if you rewrite it without the parantheses; maybe like 'situational' element, for instance,the freedom to exercise control over your own
learning.
Think about it. I hope it helps you.
Regards,
Jane
