Assignment
Respond to the following short essay questions based on the course materials and your ADDITIONAL RESEARCH. You are to prepare and submit your midterm assessment in a Microsoft word document and attach to the "Assignments" (Times New Roman Font 12). Additionally, I want you to "copy and paste" your word document directly into the assignment section (approx 350 words for each topic question, this number excludes reference lists which will be provided for each quetion). Also, you are to state each topic question followed by your response to that question.
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 in APA format (APUS Library). What I am looking for here are your own thoughts and opinions that demonstrate your understanding of the topics and the course objectives. Include a reference list of any sources cited in your Midterm assessment (APA Format). You are to use OUTSIDE SOURCES in synergy with your in-class text.
When you submit your midterm (Microsoft 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. Make sure you also paste your answer into the response block. This gives a back up if there is a problem with WORD. Thanks a million.
If you have any questions or concerns about the assignment please contact me.
