Instructions

Respond to the following short essay questions based on the course materials presented for weeks 1-4 and the research you have conducted from outside the class. You are to prepare and submit your midterm assessment in a Microsoft word document and attach to the "Assignments". Use Times New Roman (Font 12) and two paragraphs for each of the 3 questions (two to three pages of content). Additionally, I want you to state each topic question followed by your response. Each response should be no more than 500 words.

Based on the assigned readings and references you develop OUTSIDE OF CLASS, your responses are to be in your own words with minimal quotes that must be properly cited. 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 midterm (word document) to the "Assignments" for grading it will automatically be submitted to Turnitin. As a result, 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.
