YOU ARE NOT PERMITTED TO CONSULT ANYONE OR SHARE YOUR WORK WITH YOUR CLASSMATES. Failure to do so will be considered as cheating and be dealt according to university policies.

 

What do I expect from your answers?

 

Your answers should NOT be just your opinions. They should reflect your understanding and demonstrate your comprehension of class materials. Use supporting evidence if necessary. If you do, a list of references is required with proper citations. The policy of academic integrity should be strictly followed. Your answers should be your own works and should demonstrate your critical thinking and analytical skills. Answers will be graded based on organization, quality, and comprehensiveness of class materials (see rubric in the next page).
