Want to drop out of Sophia English Composition I
#16
I did see the update that you passed the course. That's great news!

Since your PM is turned off, I'll post suggestions here that you can incorporate into your future writing courses.

Thesis Statement
I don't see a strong thesis statement.  This is the most important part of your paper and likely the main reason you lost so many points.

A strong thesis statement for this paper could be:
"The increasing prevalence of identity and credit card theft in our highly digitalized society necessitates urgent action from governments to strengthen enforcement, enhance international cooperation, and implement comprehensive measures to protect citizens, prosecute cybercriminals, and mitigate the economic and social consequences of these crimes."

Counterargument
I didn't see any counterargument

Example of counterargument:
Some may argue that the responsibility to prevent identity and credit card theft lies primarily with individuals, as they should exercise caution and take necessary precautions when engaging in online activities. They argue that educating individuals about the risks, promoting cybersecurity awareness, and encouraging responsible online behavior would be more effective than relying solely on government intervention.

Transitions between paragraphs
Example transition to insert in the previous paragraph before "Finding solutions":
In addition to the need for government action, it is crucial to examine the psychological profile of potential victims.

APA hanging indention
Proper APA is hanging indention in the Biography. 

Also, I saw that sometimes in the paper, there was no comma after the last name. (Cross 2020), (Nino 2017).

Grammarly Suggestions (Note: Grammarly sometimes makes errors)
1. Identity and credit card theft are is a huge social problem.

2. The worst aspect is that the countries with the highest number of cyber criminals cybercriminals per capita constantly cry wolf about the loss of foreign investment without doing anything about clamping down on crime to begin with.

(You usually don't end a sentence with a dangling preposition.)

3. Once again, the schemes of legal loopholes used by criminals emulates emulate plenty of politicians with offshore bank accounts.

4. Most victims of scams tend to be extroverted people with a high degree of nervousness and a propensity to take risks. 

5. Some countries are vested in protecting their citizens by funding universities or have increased legal grounds to exert punitive measures against the birth countries of many cyber criminals cybercriminals.

6. Nigerians living abroad have has selected this topic for their university thesis (Adedipe 2016). 

Overall
The quality of the paper is good, and I don't see any major fundamental issues with sentence construction.

Some professors are picky with APA, so make sure that it is perfect. Other than that, you should do well once you enroll in college to finish your degree.
