Instructions: Answer all questions as instructed. Submit your answers in Course Activities:
Assignments (this is the Drop Box). There is no partial credit; all questions must be answered.
Writing matters!! See syllabus. See plagiarism statement under Academic Integrity link. Do not copy/past content from ANY source as your answer-that’s obvious, right? Do not attempt to post most of the content and change some of the wording–that is plagiarism, too!

Provide citations and use formal writing style (grammar, spelling, good sentence formation, etc.); do not use bullets or listings in place of sentences. Proof your work!
