“The Middle East was really the hub for scientific development during the Middle Ages. They picked up where the Roman Empire left-off and worked on educating and advancing their nation. While eventually Europe would come to take this knowledge back over there was a time in the Middle Ages where countries like Islam were shinning with knowledge that Europe was not even aware that it did not have nor needed it. This was considered to be Islam’s “Golden Age” since the competition was pretty much non-existent, and Islam was working to be one of the most educated areas.”

Phrase ‘really the hub for scientific development’ poor word choice as well as use of vague generalization.

They picked up where the Roman Empire left-off and worked on educating and advancing their nation. While eventually Europe would come to take this knowledge back over there was a time in the Middle Ages where countries like Islam were shinning with knowledge that Europe was not even aware that it did not have nor needed it.

Where to begin. ‘They picked up where the Roman Empire left off’ Who picked up what? The author appears not to know or understand that the East Roman Empire was a quite different entity than the Roman Empire of the first five centuries AD.

‘While eventually Europe would come to take this knowledge back over’

Grammatically inept and clumsy immature word use and structure.

A few examples of what I mean. When teaching if I had gotten this sort of inept product it would have been returned as insufficient and with a lot of red comments.
