Homework

Sunday Homework 4 (10%). Answer course objectives. 

The weekly activities generally consist of answering the chapter objectives located near the beginning of each assigned chapter. Make sure to write and enumerate the questions inside quotation marks. Follow that with your original answers not inside quotation marks. At the end of each chapter or the homework, list your references in full (not just a link) and flank each reference by quotation marks. Minimum 150 words per answer (some questions can be completely answered with fewer words).
