Paper , Order, or Assignment Requirements

Just Answer the questions and follow all the instructions. I don’t need neither introduction nor conclusion.

Instructions: Your final class assignment will consist of an essay responding to the five (5) questions enumerated below. You are asked to answer each question completely, using correct grammar and sentence structure. Please do not simply copy and “paste everything”, from your text- think about your answers. Questions 1-4 must be answered in a minimum of two paragraphs. Question 5 will be completed as you deem needed. As we all wish to maintain the highest level of educational integrity, this is an individual’s assignment. We encourage students to interrelate through dialogue, learning and comradery. However, any answers to questions that are or appear to be deliberately the same from one student to another will be graded poorly. I know that this will not happen as I have the highest respect for each of you. However, it is important to be clear. Strive for good work and you will yield a good grade.
