Assignment deduction considerations:

· How? – Why?: If your answer leaves me asking the question how or why, then you didn’t answer the question thoroughly. (results in -1 to -3 points per question)

· Lacks depth: The answer only touches the surface of the question. (results in -1 to -3 points per question)

· If you submit your document in any other font color than black. (results in -5 points)
