Instructions
In order to obtain your max grade for each question you should be as original as possible (USE YOUR OWN WORDS), mix and match will be accepted, but complete "paraphrasing of the textbook" will incur in points deduction.
Your answers should come from the readings of your textbook, and not from the Internet sources, make sure that when you paraphrase the textbook that you reference the source.
Please note that you will be able to review/see the feedback given by me for your incorrect and/or answers where you did not achieve the maximum grade after I evaluate you.
Best of Luck!
