homework

Please answer the following questions using the material provided in the recorded lectures, pages, and the required readings.  Please be as detailed as possible in order to show me that you understand what is being asked and that you have read and understand the basic points raised by the relevant authors.  In short, please do not just repeat back to me what I and the authors have said.  Support your answers by bringing in examples that show that you understand the concepts used and/or arguments made.  Also, please remember that I am not asking you for your opinion; I am testing your knowledge.   When I directly reference an author or set of authors, please remember to include a brief summary of the relevant points raised in the selection they authored.

The short-answer questions should be answered in a paragraph or so.  The essay questions should be answered in 3-4 paragraphs.  I do prefer quality over quantity so if you can answer the questions in less time, that’s fine.  Just remember that I am the one who will be assessing “quality” so make sure you answer the questions carefully and with enough detail to demonstrate your knowledge and understanding of the material.  Also, please review and proofread your answers to make sure you are clear in what you are trying to say – you don’t want me struggling to figure out what you meant.

Finally, please submit all answers in one document via Canvas.  If you have any problems with your submission, go ahead and email it to me.
