For each question in this assignment, you are to write a 150-word response.
Each question is worth 10 points.
Your responses should be your original work, written in your own words, and not copied or paraphrased from some other work. If you refer to particular lines from the textbook or outside sources as the basis for your thinking or to define terms, be sure to cite the source using APA format and be sure to retain a personal voice alongside your citations (i.e., avoid relying on quotes or summaries without interpretation).
Read each question carefully before responding. Almost all questions have more than one part. To receive the maximum credit for an answer, determine exactly what the question is asking and deliver accordingly.
Evaluation of your responses will not be based on your writing ability. However, your responses must be communicated clearly enough to demonstrate your knowledge and skills in the subject matter.
