Please put each answer under its own question:
The way this midterm works is that I have provided you 5 questions, one per week’s topic. You need to answer the questions to the best of your ability.
Responses will be graded based on 3 things. 1) How thoroughly and thoughtfully you explained the answer. 2) How feasible and creative your response was in terms of solutions, or options for solving problems. 3) How cleanly written it is. Please no typos and no grammatical mistakes.
You must provide links for all of your sources if you reference anything besides your textbook.
*Hint: Each response should probably be at least ½ a page if you are answering thoroughly.
