Respond to the following short essay questions based on the course materials presented for weeks 1-4. You are to prepare and submit your assessment in a Microsoft word document and attach to the "Assignments". Additionally, I want you to "copy and paste" (word document) into the "Assignments" in case there is a problem opening your word document. Use Times New Roman (Font 12) and two paragraphs for each of the 5 questions (two pages of content). Additionally, I want you to state each topic question followed by your response. Based on the assigned readings, your responses are to be in your own words with no copying except for minimal quotes that must be properly cited ( Turabian Style ). What I am looking for here are your own thoughts and opinions that demonstrate your understanding of the topics and the course materials. Since, you will be using the assigned course materials to address the topic questions; you are not required to include a bibliography list. When you submit your assignment (word document) to the "Assignments" for grading it will automatically be submitted to Turnitin. This means your assessment will be reviewed for plagiarism and will generate a Turnitin report and similarity score for originality. To reiterate, I want you to share your own thoughts in your own words in completing this assignment.
If you have any questions or concerns with the assignment please contact me.
