For twenty points each. Choose FIVE of the following. Write at least a paragraph for each. PLEASE use your own words. Copying material from the text is plagiarism without a proper citation. Copying material from anything or anyone is likewise plagiarism. Even then filling your answers up with quotes will hurt your evaluation. Late turn-ins will be docked, regardless of reason. If you let me know before hand, they will not be docked all that much.
Whenever possible, be specific, give examples to support your main points. Show you’ve done the reading and paid attention in class. Grammar is not as important as clarity, but do try to answer your questions in prose and not outline. If you need to email provide a good reason and later on a hard copy because I will only grade a hard copy.
