Fairly simple written assignment this week. There are ten questions, each worth 10 points. Your answer to each question MUST BE A DIRECT QUOTE from the textbook. Yes, you read that correctly, your answers must be quotes from the textbook. And state the page of the book where you found the quote.

Grading

Each question is worth ten points. Each answer must be a direct quote, if its not, you won't receive any credit for your answer. If you forget to include the page number where a quote is found, 3 points will be deducted from that question, or you could lose all credit if there's no page number and I can't find the quote in the textbook.
