Essay Assignment
Make sure to number your responses so your instructor will know where one response ends and the next starts. It is not necessary to rewrite each question in your document. For multiple choice questions, CLEARLY indicate your response so that your instructor does not have to search and try to determine your response in your short answer explanation.
Each question needs to be at least a half of page but can be longer. Answer each question fully for a total of four pages not including the title and reference page.
