Assignment
Directions:
• You will answer 4 short answer/essay questions, each worth 5 points.
• The questions will draw primarily from your textbook.
• Each answer should be approximately 200 words, its not an exact science, but if you're only writing a sentence or two you are not going into enough detail, or answering the entire question.
• When answering questions that ask for a definition, do not use a quote from the book to give that definition! Put the answer in your own words to show you understand what is being asked.
• Use quotations sparingly. Answers that are quote after quote do not show understanding or analysis and will be marked down.
• Do not use bullet points, graphs, charts or other methods to answer. You need to write out your analysis/answer to show me you understand the material.
• Any quotes or outside sources need to be appropriately cited.
• All answers need to be written at a college level with appropriate spelling, punctuation and grammar.
• You will be turning all of your homework in through the TurnItIn. So remember, if you cheat, it will catch you!
