Module 4 Assignment- Chapters 13-18
Answer questions using 4-8 complete sentences for each. Do not answer question in outline format. For each answer include the relevant page number(s) OR sections from your textbook or etext. You will not receive credit for responses that do not have related page number(s) or course reference. You must answer responses in your own words. Responses must be original. Each answer should be able to be read as a complete essay– ie. restate the question, make it clear what you are answering. Attend to the words “describe,” “explain,” and “discuss”– these indicate that you must demonstrate a full understanding of the question and convey that information to the reader. Do not just copy what is in the text book- but rather put it in your own words and make it clear that you have thought about the content. Number questions before each response!!!
