COURSE G381 ASSIGNMENT

—Required—

1. INSTRUCTIONS: (Read these instructions every time you do an assignment so they are fresh in your mind)

1. Place your cursor on the blank line below each question and type your answer. Do not put your whole answer in bold or italics. Do not change the color of your font or the numbering of the questions. Use this template; do not use a blank paper.

2. The purpose of this assignment is for the instructor to see if you got the main points from this course. Therefore, your answers should be based first on the study material in this course and not on your overall knowledge.

3. While we respect your opinions, they are secondary to the study material. You are free to disagree all you want, but still answer from the study material first so we know you at least understand the points being made.

4. Please answer the questions in your own words to the extent possible. You may quote the study material, but please do not copy and paste (or type out) your answers directly from the study material as your primary answer .

5. You are also encouraged to add your own experiences as appropriate and relevant.

6. The length of each answer should be proportional to the question— one or two short paragraphs should usually suffice for most questions. DO NOT include several paragraphs for one question unless there is a really good reason to do so (such as relating a personal experience).

7. Some questions have two parts. Be sure to answer both parts so you don’t lose points.

PLEASE READ: For many students, completing an assignment like this is something they have not done in many years or even decades. It can take a bit of getting used to. As a result, many students find that they have to revise one or more answers and resubmit this first assignment. To save you time and inconvenience, make sure that you read each question carefully . Then make sure your answer comes primarily from the study material. You are also free to expand as you desire. All the answers are in the study material. Also be sure that each answer sufficiently covers the question. Once you have completed this assignment, proof each of your answers to make sure they accurately answer the questions. Getting in the habit of doing these things will save you and the instructor time and earn you the highest grades.
