Your answer for EACH question must be within the range of 250 to 350 words (use MS Word’s "Word Count" feature on the "Review" tab to ensure that your answer is not too brief or too verbose). Be sure to answer each question fully, because you are subject to point deductions for incomplete answers. Use 1.5 line spacing.

It should NOT dominate your work. Point deductions will occur if more than 15% of the answer is borrowed. I want to read YOUR thoughts on these questions. However, I do expect at least some citations and references for all assignments.
